    #45 - Unfiltered: AI, Bias, and What HR Keeps Getting Wrong - with "The Evil HR Lady"

    In this bold episode of The State of Work Today, I talk with Suzanne Lucas—better known as the Evil HR Lady—about the real state of modern HR. Suzanne doesn't hold back as we dig into where HR data fails, how AI is quietly reshaping hiring (and not always in good ways), and why storytelling and improv might be HR's most underused tools. We also get real about the gender pay gap, leadership blind spots, and the danger of HR professionals making decisions based on gut, not evidence. Whether you're in HR, lead a team, or just want to understand how the workplace is changing—this one will make you think. Listen now! Learn more about your ad choices.
