People Problems

We discuss the organizational challenges, realities, and funny happenings in the weird world of working humans. This is not a podcast about work, but rather about humans at work and the incredible teams and people who (sometimes) swoop in to save the day. We’ll say some unpopular things, keep it real, and do everything we can to remind the world that Human Resources people are people, too. #notHR
