This episode of I Hate It Here is getting spooky with a second edition of HR Horror Stories!
Last year, we dove into tales that had us shaking our heads, and this year?
Let’s just say my jaw’s still on the floor after these submissions.
I’ll be reading these stories exactly as they were submitted, and trust me, they’re a reminder that nobody outside of HR quite understands the unique trauma we face.
Tune in to hear about The Bad Employee, The Unhinged CEO, and yes, even a Rubber Duck and Plastic Dinosaur making their grand entrance.
00:02:09 - The Tale of the Bad Employee
00:05:33 - The Tale of the Interesting Meeting
00:08:30 - The Rubber Duck and Plastic Dinosaur
00:10:35 - The Tale of ‘Do Not Disturb’
00:11:55 - The Tale of Lack of Gratitude
00:12:51 - The Tale of the Group Text
00:16:10 - The Tale of the Unhinged CEO
00:19:02 - The Tale of Bad References
00:20:50 - The Tale of the Mediator
00:22:29 - The Tale of the Pervert
