The duo is joined by Jon Hyman – their favorite employment lawyer – for extra laughs and his solid legal POV to review the details of HR's stickier situations.

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. After much fanfare for their first 'Doc Club' episode, Alexa and Tyson review the new and popular documentary, Stutz, with lots of aggressive opinions to share. Give it go!  Watch the doc: https://www.netflix.com/title/81387962 Read Mark Manson's book: https://www.amazon.com/Love-Not-Enough-Mark-Manson/dp/1713585189 ***Important People Problems disclaimer: We don't think that HR should take on the role of in-office psychologist or psychiatrist. Are there some interesting and valuable resources and tools in this documentary to help humans better understand themselves and maybe better understand how they work? Absolutely. We're not suggesting you become the Wendy Rhoades of your office. However if you don't get that reference, we are suggesting that you watch Billions. Highlights and Key Points:  What is a doc club anyway? (11:58) “Stutz” summary (12:38) SPOILER ALERT (15:03) “How do you build trust and rapport between two people in vulnerable situations?” (16:10) Tying the doc and its message back to HR and the working environment (16:35) SPOILER ALERT (17:09) “Your manager is sometimes someone you have to be vulnerable with in order to be managed well. 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!
