Ever found yourself caught between holiday parties and year-end reports, trying to balance the chaos of personal life with professional duties? That’s where we kick off this episode of Jaded HR! We’re celebrating our podcast achievements, reminiscing on memorable episodes, and sharing personal stories like my new “cool HR” title earned during a night out in Philadelphia. Plus, dive into some family fun with tales of brewing beer with my son, who’s back home for winter break. Join us as we embrace the festive frenzy while planning for an exciting 2025 filled with fresh content and even more candid conversations.
In the realm of performance reviews, we’re shaking things up by ditching traditional numerical ratings in favor of real-time, narrative feedback. Our engineering company is all about fostering open communication and transparency, which has helped create a drama-free environment. We’ll share insights and potential improvements to this system, like revisions to feedback, as our team grows. It’s all about keeping things fair and straightforward while encouraging fruitful dialogues between managers and employees, ensuring everyone’s on the same page.
Switching gears to a hot topic in HR, we’re unraveling the recent salary rollercoaster at Ohio State University. After a Texas judge halted a planned salary threshold increase, Ohio State reversed pay raises, leaving many employees financially strained and sparking potential legal battles. We’ll compare how our company approached these regulatory uncertainties with caution, sharing strategies to navigate such changes while maintaining employee morale. To sprinkle some humor on this serious topic, I’ll recount a funny personal anecdote about using new slang, reminding us all of the generational learning curve we frequently encounter.Support the show

Thanksgiving brought its own share of joys and challenges for us. Cece reveled in her baby's first holiday feast, a heartwarming personal story that sets the stage for our episode. Meanwhile, Warren wrestled with unexpected home maintenance issues, reminding us all that life rarely goes as planned. As we returned to the office post-holiday, we faced the whirlwind of new hire orientations and workplace gossip. Ever wonder how a simple rumor about PTO can cause chaos? We unpack this and stress the importance of nipping misconceptions in the bud to keep workplace harmony intact.
Have you ever pondered if unlimited PTO is as liberating as it sounds? We navigate this complex topic, sharing insights into the paradox of employees with unrestricted leave taking less time off. Compare that to those with traditional PTO accruals, and it's a curious case of human nature at play. A captivating employment law case study about an IT technician's attendance woes helps us illustrate the critical need for clarity in job expectations. Work-life balance is more than a catchphrase—it's a dance, and we're here to share some notes on getting those steps right.
Professional missteps can haunt careers, as Betty's tale of burnout and bridges burned with competitors demonstrates. Our stories highlight the intertwined nature of HR networks and the minefield of policy misinterpretations. From understanding when and how to use PTO after giving notice to the amusing question of HR's role as an ally on LinkedIn, these anecdotes serve as a reminder that communication is king. We wrap up by inviting you to join the conversation through social media, encouraging you to share your stories and feedback with us. Let's navigate the unpredictable world of HR one story at a time.Support the show

The realities of understaffed HR departments make these tasks all the more daunting, but maintaining professionalism is always a priority.

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 feel like you're the only sane person in an office full of quirky characters? Strap in and join us, Warren and Patrick, for a wild ride through the jungle of HR headaches and hilarity. We kick off with a hearty congratulations to our very own CeCe for adding a new member to the family tree and move swiftly into the nitty-gritty of productivity peaks and valleys, navigating eccentric colleagues, and the ever-present office salad bar station.
Now, let's talk about those workplace 'frenemies' and grammar gaffes that can drive you up the wall. It's a balancing act of camaraderie and caution, and we've got the tales to prove it. From the symphony of desk salad chopping to the cringe-worthy email faux pas, we share our personal stories and the lessons learned on maintaining professionalism amidst the chaos. Plus, we dive into the generational mash-up that is today's workplace, with a nod to our own Gen X status and a playful jab at the upcoming Gen Alpha.
Wrapping up with a scent-sational story, we explore the peculiar case of Mark and his sour apple-scented escapades. It's a reminder that HR isn't all policies and paperwork—sometimes, it's about embracing the weird and wonderful quirks that make our office lives anything but dull. Tune in for a hearty dose of real talk and relatable laughs, and don't forget to hit us with your thoughts via Buzzsprout's handy text feature.

Celebrate our fourth trip around the sun with us, as CeeCee and Patrick step into the guest spotlight to mark this podcast milestone. They're not just here to share the cake; they're diving headfirst into your AMA questions, while I tackle the conundrum of platform migration in the wake of Google Podcasts' exit. We've found new homes for our episodes on Pocket Casts and Overcast, and in the spirit of our anniversary, we're reminiscing about the journey so far. From sharing HR horror stories to the ethical tightropes we've walked, this special episode is a mixtape of laughter, learning, and the occasional office poltergeist.
Have you ever considered what HR would do if faced with the supernatural or the downright bizarre? We’ve got that covered, along with tackling the delicate matter of company cultures that blur the line between personal beliefs and professional conduct. It's a spirited debate that's both eerie and enlightening, with a side of cult psychology. And because it wouldn't be a true HR party without a few cringe-worthy anecdotes, we'll serve you the quirkiest, like the eternal confusion over flags and the peculiar challenges that can arise from the most unsuspecting of places–the office bathroom.
As we peer into HR's crystal ball, we imagine the tech advancements that will shape our field, playfully wishing for an HR system with the power to compel employees to actually read their emails. But it’s not just tech on the horizon; it’s the human moments that make our work worthwhile. Whether it's knowing when to pack up your cubicle for greener pastures or navigating the quirky trials that come with the HR territory, we're here to share those stories. So grab your headphones, and let's jump into another season brimming with insight, humor, and a commitment to keeping you entertained through every HR conundrum.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
