Phoebe Robinson knows very well what not to do as a boss. Before she was a successful stand-up comedian, actor and podcast host, Robinson had her fair share of awful managers.

Ive worked in offices where its like, you cant look the exec in the eye when theyre walking down the hallway, Robinson said during our interview for HuffPosts series Between You & Me in New Yorks East Village. I dont want to do that. Im the same person as you. Like, I fart, I burp, I oversleep. There is none of that sort of, like, Im better than you vibe. I dont like that.

For the comedian and New York Times bestselling author, who rocketed to fame with her podcast-turned-HBO series 2 Dope Queens , musing on what exactly makes a good boss isnt something shes dwelling on abstractly.

After a decade of hustling in the comedy world, Robinson recently locked down a multi-year overall deal with ABC Studios with her own production house, Tiny Reparations , where she will be developing new projects and shows. Last month, she announced a forthcoming interview show with Comedy Central, produced by Robinson and the production house behind Jerry Seinfelds popular series, Comedians In Cars Getting Coffee .
