Laura Bennett

Laura Bennett is a former New York City marketing director with a sharp eye for corporate absurdities and a natural talent for turning everyday workplace frustrations into sharp, witty commentary. Originally from the Midwest, she built her career in the fast-paced world of Manhattan branding, where she spent over a decade leading campaigns and enduring the buzzword-heavy culture of open-plan offices and endless “innovation” meetings. In 2014, she began blogging privately about the more ridiculous sides of office life, and by 2019, she transformed that blog into Cranky Business. What started as an outlet for humorous rants has grown into a beloved destination for professionals who crave honesty, humor, and a bit of sanity in the chaos of modern work culture.
