Send us a text

Ever wondered what your cat’s vertigo could teach you about the chaotic world of HR? Join us on the Jaded HR Podcast as Cee Cee kicks things off with a hilarious story about her feline friend’s unexpected health crisis. We then venture into more sobering territory, sharing our recent work struggles—Stacey’s hair-pulling ordeal with a botched survey logic affecting thousands and Warren’s annual review prep nightmare. It's a rollercoaster of emotions, perfectly capturing the unpredictable and often laugh-out-loud ridiculousness of HR life.
How do you identify and nurture high potential employees without creating a toxic workplace? This episode digs deep into the delicate art of talent management, balancing transparency and discretion. We discuss personal experiences from both large and small organizations, revealing the pitfalls of labeling employees as high potentials and the importance of offering targeted development opportunities. With our anecdotes, we emphasize that fostering a positive work environment requires more than just good intentions; it demands a nuanced and thoughtful approach.
Finally, we tackle the ins and outs of talent reviews and succession planning, stressing the importance of clear communication and candid feedback. From performance check-ins to continuous learning, we explore practical strategies for employee growth and career advancement. We wrap up by urging you to take charge of your own professional journey—because waiting for someone else to steer your career is a recipe for stagnation. Don’t forget to text us your questions and comments for on-air responses. Join us as we navigate the HR labyrinth, one WTF moment at a time.
