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.
