    Christmas Special - Bourbon Will Save The Day

    Ever had one of those days when the HR role feels more like a rollercoaster ride than a job? Strap in as we take you on a wild ride through the intense world of Human Resources. We kick off with the tricky terrain of salaries, bonuses and the surprisingly prevalent workplace jealousy. Drawing from our own experiences (believe us, we have plenty to share), we chat about coping strategies, the emotional toll, and the unfortunate truth that HR isn’t always the most lucrative field - no matter how many secret salary documents we stumble upon!

    But we’re just getting started. Hang on as we zoom into the generational gap, fired up by a viral TikTok video and some eye-opening stats about our friends from Gen Z. When 74% of managers report struggling to manage them, we have to ask, what gives? Tune in as we examine the pandemic’s effect on their social cues, ponder the parenting factors, and even share a chuckle about generational quirks. Wrapping up our wild ride, we share our own HR "WTF" moments (hand us the bourbon!), and lighten the mood with our annual Christmas song because let's face it, the HR life may be tough, but it sure isn't dull. Buckle up, this is one HR journey you won't want to miss.

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!

Kiki.in.SC ,

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.
