Why is there so much management bullshit used in the workplace? On this episode, I speak with Professor Ian McCarthy who is the W.J. VanDusen Associate Professor of Innovation and Operations Management at the SFU Beedie School of Business.

Ian recently co-authored a piece of research entitled "Confronting indifference toward truth: Dealing with workplace bullshit" and on the podcast, I talk to him about the genesis of the idea and the research findings. And he introduces the CRAP framework that he and his co-authors developed to help us all identify and respond to the challenges of Workplace Bullshit. We also briefly touch on Ian's other research into Social Media and Deep Fakes.
