Episode 115: Covert contracts

As its name suggests, a covert contract is a quid pro quo
agreement that is not disclosed to the other party. At first
blush, it seems absurd that anyone would engage in this practice.
After all, if you don't explicitly negotiate terms, how can you
reasonably expect to get what you hope to receive from the
transaction? However, people engage in covert contracts in their
personal and professional relationships, every day of their
lives. In this episode, I'll discuss what that might look like,
and what you can do about it.
