Jaded HR: Your Relief From the Common Human Resources Podcasts

Due to technical issues we don't have a new episode for you this week. Please enjoy this encore episode from May 2020.
Can virtual happy hours spell trouble for HR departments? Join us as Warren and Patrick discuss the unexpected challenges that arise when colleagues meet over video for a drink. We share a riveting Reddit story where an inappropriate comment during a virtual happy hour led to a tricky HR situation. The lack of face-to-face interaction seems to loosen tongues, leading to unprofessional behavior that can have serious repercussions. Discover how these online gatherings can potentially increase harassment claims and create uncomfortable scenarios for everyone involved.
Being in HR isn't all about playing workplace police or mediating minor disputes. We shed light on the real frustrations HR professionals face, especially when dealing with candidate rejections. Ever sent a "thank you, but no thank you" letter only to receive backlash? We discuss why it's crucial not to ghost applicants, even when you're swamped, and share some funny and inspirational workplace quotes to lift your spirits. The realities of understaffed HR departments make these tasks all the more daunting, but maintaining professionalism is always a priority.
Ready for a laugh? We explore the humorous side of HR, from Reddit posts comparing HR to witchcraft to funny nicknames like "management resources ladies." We also put forth an exciting idea—gamifying HR with health and experience points to make the workplace more dynamic and engaging. Say goodbye to traditional performance reviews and hello to leveling up at work! Wrapping up, we extend our heartfelt thanks to The Underscore Orchestra for their music and to our wonderful listeners for tuning in to Jaded HR. Don't forget to leave your reviews and engage with us on social media!
