Customer Reviews
Joy for my jaded soul
Oh, Warren. Hearing you give a piece of your mind to a salesperson for a certain duck-represented supplemental insurance company who dropped by unannounced brought me such joy! Thanks for the laughs always!
Thanks to Jaded HR!
This podcast is my absolute favorite. The hosts are funny and personable. Thanks for sharing your zany HR experiences. It’s comforting to know we are in this together!
Jaded, unapologetic, and refreshingly honest.
I feel like I'm eavesdropping on a lunchtime conversation between friends. Funny, sarcastic, and sprinkled with words of advice without being overbearing.
It's nice to know we aren't completely alone in questioning the mental stability of the company CEO, the employees, or even ourselves for purposely choosing to be in HR.
Jaded HR... Where they say the quiet part out loud.
