Help Wanted: Training My Replacement and 4 More Work Dilemmas with Oz Rashid of MSH Talent

In this episode, we launch "Help Wanted," a new segment where our host, Oz Rashid, CEO of MSH Talent, answers anonymous questions from listeners in real time, without seeing them beforehand.  Oz works through five workplace dilemmas: a marketing manager who suspects they're training their replacement; a founder whose hands-off culture cost him a senior recruiter; a candidate turned down after eight interviews; an employee who let a teammate take the blame; and a new manager who misses the work they were promoted out of. Along the way, Oz shares how MSH added accountability to a people-first culture and why he believes four interviews are usually enough.
