Ever wanted a pressure-release valve for the workplace—something that lets you vent without starting a fire?

In this episode, we spotlight a deceptively funny 52-week planner: HR Approved Ways to Tell Employees They’re Stupid, created by Jerry Lee. On the surface, it’s a satirical collection of sarcastic, biting phrases paired with notebook pages—perfect for privately unloading workplace irritation. But there’s more going on under the snark.

We unpack the practical lessons hidden beneath the humor: why clear communication matters, how emotional intelligence can prevent you from escalating the situation, and how laughter can keep you steady when office dynamics get tense.

So whether you’re buying it as a gag gift or using it as a personal coping tool, this episode explores what the planner really says about surviving—and thriving—in complicated corporate relationships.
