What do you get when you cross a comedian with a hostile work environment? Today’s story! When a complaint comes out against people on the Jimmy Fallon staff of The Tonight Show, people’s assumptions of it being a fun, positive place to work are challenged. The internal teams at NBC are challenged with the task of addressing issues with a lead personality.

On today’s episode, Chuck and John dive into what steps to take when a leader at a business is accused of mistreating employees and creating a hostile environment.

In the HR News segment, the team touches on the following topics and more:

• Continued conversation around remote work
• ‘Corporate Goth’ Gen Z employees in the workforce
• A retaliation case that didn’t end well
• Sexual favoritism in the workplace
• Prayer groups at work
• Discriminatory assessments at Walmart
