Send us a Text Message. Ever wonder what it feels like to be on the receiving end of age discrimination? That's just one of the many HR horror stories we're tackling this episode. You'll hear about our personal adventures in home brewing, and then we'll take you on a trip to a particular McDonald's in Florida that became the center of an unsettling viral incident. We'll give you the disturbing details about a manager's verbal harassment of an employee named Barry based solely on his age. 

Moving on from that, we delve into the issue of salary discrepancies. Imagine this: an employee earning more than their director! We'll talk about the sticky situation between Jane and Heidi, and how their pay disparity can be managed. We'll also discuss how to survive unnerving HR moments and deal with contract negotiations when things get rocky. With a shout out to our awesome voice artist Andrew Culpa and the groovy theme music by the Underscore Orchestra, we're here to help you navigate the HR labyrinth. Tune in and be part of the conversation! Support the Show. We want to hear from you.

Send us a Text Message. Ever wonder if climbing the HR career ladder requires a framed diploma on your wall? Think again. In a candid exploration of the evolving landscape of human resources, I, Warren, debunk the myth that a degree is the golden ticket to success in HR. With wit and a wealth of experience, I illustrate how diverse backgrounds - from criminal justice to communications - can forge a path to triumph in this dynamic field. I dissect the seismic industry shift since the 90s, underscoring that it's the hands-on experience, not always the parchment, that counts.

But that's not all we have in store. I'm thrilled to roll out our brand-spanking-new texting feature, giving you a direct line to share your insights, stories, and questions. Your voice matters, and it just might feature on our show (with anonymity in the bag, if that's your jam). Before we hit pause for a brief holiday hiatus, a heartfelt shoutout goes to our dedicated listeners, the musical maestro of our theme tune, and the velvet-toned Andrew Culpa behind our intro. Tune in as I wrap up with a tip of the hat to the real value of learning in HR, and remember, the mic might be off, but the conversation is just a text away. Support the Show. We want to hear from you.

Redefining Success in HR: Beyond the Degree and Into Real-World Experience

Send us a Text Message. Ever feel like you're the only sane person in an office full of quirky characters? Strap in and join us, Warren and Patrick, for a wild ride through the jungle of HR headaches and hilarity. We kick off with a hearty congratulations to our very own CeCe for adding a new member to the family tree and move swiftly into the nitty-gritty of productivity peaks and valleys, navigating eccentric colleagues, and the ever-present office salad bar station.

Now, let's talk about those workplace 'frenemies' and grammar gaffes that can drive you up the wall. It's a balancing act of camaraderie and caution, and we've got the tales to prove it. From the symphony of desk salad chopping to the cringe-worthy email faux pas, we share our personal stories and the lessons learned on maintaining professionalism amidst the chaos. Plus, we dive into the generational mash-up that is today's workplace, with a nod to our own Gen X status and a playful jab at the upcoming Gen Alpha.

Wrapping up with a scent-sational story, we explore the peculiar case of Mark and his sour apple-scented escapades. It's a reminder that HR isn't all policies and paperwork—sometimes, it's about embracing the weird and wonderful quirks that make our office lives anything but dull. Tune in for a hearty dose of real talk and relatable laughs, and don't forget to hit us with your thoughts via Buzzsprout's handy text feature. It's Jaded HR, where we keep it authentic, amusing, and occasionally, just a tad outrageous. Support the Show. We want to hear from you.

Shitty Recruiting Tactics Discussed by Industry Veterans

Send us a Text Message. Celebrate our fourth trip around the sun with us, as CeeCee and Patrick step into the guest spotlight to mark this podcast milestone. They're not just here to share the cake; they're diving headfirst into your AMA questions, while I tackle the conundrum of platform migration in the wake of Google Podcasts' exit. We've found new homes for our episodes on Pocket Casts and Overcast, and in the spirit of our anniversary, we're reminiscing about the journey so far. From sharing HR horror stories to the ethical tightropes we've walked, this special episode is a mixtape of laughter, learning, and the occasional office poltergeist.

Have you ever considered what HR would do if faced with the supernatural or the downright bizarre? We’ve got that covered, along with tackling the delicate matter of company cultures that blur the line between personal beliefs and professional conduct. It's a spirited debate that's both eerie and enlightening, with a side of cult psychology. And because it wouldn't be a true HR party without a few cringe-worthy anecdotes, we'll serve you the quirkiest, like the eternal confusion over flags and the peculiar challenges that can arise from the most unsuspecting of places–the office bathroom.

As we peer into HR's crystal ball, we imagine the tech advancements that will shape our field, playfully wishing for an HR system with the power to compel employees to actually read their emails. But it’s not just tech on the horizon; it’s the human moments that make our work worthwhile. Whether it's knowing when to pack up your cubicle for greener pastures or navigating the quirky trials that come with the HR territory, we're here to share those stories. So grab your headphones, and let's jump into another season brimming with insight, humor, and a commitment to keeping you entertained through every HR conundrum. Support the Show. We want to hear from you.
