This podcast uses relatable content to help with employee coaching sharing a an authentic response to real life issues in the workplace.
This podcast is created by a company that is distributing its funds from employee salaries to useless “tech advancements” like making a podcast with poor viewership and no real value to employees or the company. The CEO plays favorites among his employees, only sending a select few to (often unimportant) conferences that hold little value. He and his management staff consistently deny raises for hardworking employees who are struggling to pay basic expenses. He himself is an HR liability.
Great podcast! Loved how easily the show flowed, excited to hear more!
Fantastic as always Paul, thank you for your insight into the world of HR, and well put together by the editing crew :)
