Why Don't People Like Compliance Officers?

They are often dubbed as "business blockers", "NO! people", and "worse than lawyers".  They rarely have a popular table at a company's Christmas party.  They walk down the corridor and other people start speaking quieter or leave the coffee area.

And if you end up with a compliance officer in a casual setting - what would you talk about?  Can you share all those fun stories about your customer meetings?  Should you mention that you just completed the Code of Conduct training?  Is it ok to joke about T&E limits on drinks?

In Episode 5 we will try to untangle a peculiar question - why don't people like compliance officers, and whether compliance function can be run with a smile.  Join the conversation on your preferred podcast platform, and please share your comments below.
