Listen "Real Workplace Stoicism - Virtues, Duties, Fitting In, & Fixing Things - Sadler's Lectures"

Episode Synopsis

This is the talk I was invited to provide for Stoicon-X New England 2020. I take the recent case of a fired Lidl communications worker who claimed that he was unjustly fired on account of his Stoicism. I use this case as a starting point to discuss what sorts of conduct would actually be characteristic of a follower of Stoicism in the workplace, and what resources and advice Stoic philosophy can provide us.
