We discuss the organizational challenges, realities, and funny happenings in the weird world of working humans. This is not a podcast about work, but rather about humans at work and the incredible teams and people who (sometimes) swoop in to save the day. We’ll say some unpopular things, keep it real, and do everything we can to remind the world that Human Resources people are people too. #notHR

Whether or not you agree with HR's many methods... we can all agree that humans need better tools to be, well, human. With the rise of mental health awareness, an increasing conversation about ending work stress and anti-hustle culture on the rise - it's important to discuss... your intimacy issues.

You have to honest about failings.” (17:56-18:04) “You can't manage people well if you do not know where they come from and you do not know where they are trying to go.” (19:02) The idea of being fallible and how that connects back to work (27:57) FOLLOW US!
