Imagine working at Amazon for 12 years and never getting a promotion. Imagine being called "stupid" to your face by a senior exec in a meeting. Imagine being so burned out by the toxic, relentless pace of your job that you take up an unhealthy drinking habit. Kristi Coulter experienced all of that—and more—in her decade+ at Amazon, arguably the world's best-known and most controversial company. Then she wrote a book about it.

Today's convo digs deep into corporate burnout, Jeff Bezos, why workplaces weren't built for women, and what happens on the other side of your "dream job."

Check out Kristi's two books: Exit Interview: The Life and Death of My Ambitious Career and Nothing Good Can Come from This.
