Wankernomics 2.0 – “As Per My Last Email”
After an acclaimed 2023 debut, overpaid consultants James Schloeffel (from The Shovel) & Charles Firth (from The Chaser) have an all-new show about navigating workplace hell. Learn how to outmanoeuvre your colleagues with nothing more than an obnoxious Linkedin profile, a pack of Post-it Notes and the phrase ‘circle back’.
If you’ve worked in an office, endured a pointless meeting, or been told to “drill down on key learnings and get stakeholder buy-in”, this is the show for you.
Wankernomics 2.0 is the much-anticipated follow-up to Wankernomics 1.0, which took the comedy world by storm last year with its hilarious, wince-inducing look at the way we conduct ourselves at work. Wankernomics 2.0 is a must-see for anyone who’s endured the bureaucracy, banality, buzzwords & bullshit of the working world.
