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

Ever found yourself in the midst of a workplace networking event, drink in hand, and pondering if genuine connections are even possible amidst all the business card swapping? CeCe and I, Warren, are shaking up our fourth-anniversary episode with a blend of humor and real talk, as we tackle the cringe and charm of office mingling and talent wrangling. We'll peel back the layers on LinkedIn's lurking issues and the sometimes uncomfortable spotlight that comes with Women's History Month, all while sharing a story of how an unexpected crisis at work proved the daily heroics of unsung HR managers.
Could you imagine walking into a termination meeting only to find out the axe had fallen without your knowledge? We've got that tale from Cloudflare and more, served up with a side of laughter and lessons learned. Join us as we venture beyond the boardroom and back in time to our restaurant days, where the culture was as rich as the food was greasy, and the HR nightmares were as real as the camaraderie. It's a rollercoaster ride through viral videos, wild nicknames, and the indelible marks they leave on our professional personas.
As we toast to the memories and mishaps that have shaped us, we're not just reminiscing; we're offering a glimpse into the reality of job recruitment and the curious case of modern-day ghosting. So, pull up a chair and lend us your ears—whether you're an HR student like Brandon, a listener tuning in from sunny Barbados, or anyone in between—this AMA special is all about connecting with you. We're serving up the behind-the-scenes scoop on professional do's and don'ts, all while celebrating the community that keeps our podcast's heart beating.Support the show

Ever found yourself staring down the rabbit hole of job hunting, wondering what deal-breakers you won't budge on? Join Warren and CC this week as we spill the beans on the core principles that steer our job selection compass. Crack open the conversation with us as we reveal the red lines we simply won't cross, like micromanagement mayhem or companies with reputations that make your skin crawl. CC bravely shares the jitters surrounding maternity leave, especially with an employee engagement survey looming overhead. It's a no-holds-barred session on workplace non-negotiables that you can't afford to miss if you're navigating the job market.
Pull up a chair for a round of job transition tales that range from laughably bad to downright soul-crushing. Our banter on past gigs—like the water park with more drama than a daytime soap, to that manufacturing job with expectations as stable as a house of cards—will have you nodding in solidarity. Plus, we don't shy away from the delicate dance of airing out workplace grievances on social media; expect some eyebrow-raising anecdotes and a shared cringe over what can unfold. This chapter isn't just us rambling; it's a mirror to those all-too-common career quandaries we face, painted with a broad stroke of humor and hard-earned wisdom.
Capping off this rollercoaster chat, we put a magnifying glass over the glaring job red flags we've learned to recognize, and we're pulling back the curtain on the HR field's love affair with certifications. Is a SHRM badge the holy grail of expertise, or could a quick Google search trump a framed certificate? I candidly confess why those four letters no longer grace my LinkedIn—and it's a reveal that might just shake up how you view professional credentials. Whether you're contemplating the benefits of being certified or simply curious about the world of HR, this episode packs a punch with insights you didn't know you needed.Support the show

Are firings fair game for social media spectacle? That's the firestorm we're stepping into as we examine the Soundfire firing controversy that's blazing across the internet. We're not just bystanders—we're dissecting the viral video of an employee's very public termination, weighing in on its authenticity and pondering the long-term fallout of such personal moments turned public. But the digital realm holds more than just drama; a new HR podcast, 'Corporate Pizza Party', slices into industry insights with the sharp wit of our colleague Dan from HR, and we can't help but raise an eyebrow at the tales of a Gen Z worker who reportedly would rather hit the gym than the boardroom.
Now, let's clear the air on a few things. Mark Cuban's hiring comments ignited a firestorm of their own, but EEOC Commissioner Andrea Lucas was quick with a correction, reminding us all of the legal lines that can't be crossed in employment. And speaking of lines, we're drawing a bold one as we confront the serious allegations against Vince McMahon, shining a spotlight on WWE's internal wrangling and the critical importance of legal savvy in HR. As we gear up for our fourth anniversary with an "Ask Me Anything" episode, we're tossing the mic to you—so share your questions, and your wildest HR stories, for a chance to be featured. Join us, CeCe and Warren, as we tackle these hot topics with the thoroughness they deserve, and with a hint of humor to keep things lively.Support the show

As we navigate the treacherous seas of HR, Warren and I can't help but question the absence of compassion in corporate corridors. This episode exposes the hard truths behind the firing of an employee from Kite Baby—a company that prides itself on family values—simply for requesting remote work to care for her adopted micro-preemie. The uproar that followed on TikTok serves as a stark reminder that the face behind the brand isn't always what it seems. We also shine a light on the pulse surveys trend, revealing how these quick-fire employee feedback tools could be the next revolution—or just another fad—in gauging staff contentment.
Now, let's talk optics and interviewing—two things that should go hand in hand but often don't. A poorly handled GoFundMe campaign can cause more than just a PR hiccup; it can lead to a full-blown identity crisis for brands like Kite Baby. Warren and I dissect the aftermath of their mishap, then pivot to the interviewee's perspective. We share candid tales from our own hiring experiences, drawing from the good, the bad, and the cringeworthy to equip you with the insights you need to bring your true self to your next big opportunity.
Concluding with the darker side of HR, we recount Brittany Peach's ice-cold layoff via video call and debate the ethical quagmire of recorded firings. The emergence of 'fake experts' in HR is also on our radar, prompting a call for vigilance in whom we trust for career counsel. And who could forget the time HR pros sampled CBD products on a rooftop? It sure was a memorable (and somewhat foggy) lesson in the unpredictability of our profession. Hang tight until our next episode, where we hope Feathers will be back from the digital warfront to join Warren and me in dissecting more HR conundrums.Support the show
