Ever thought "I hate people" and then realised... you're in HUMAN resources?
If you've ever felt over people, tired of the drama or drained from being everyone's emotional hijacks, this one is for you.
In this episode, I’m calling out the contradictions, chaos and humour that come with working in HR. From enforcing rules no one likes, to managing conflict, carrying others' emotions, and handling those daily WTF moments.
This is the real talk on what it’s like in the people business.
There is also a healthy serve of satire so don’t take it all too seriously!
But it’s not all sarcasm and eye rolls. I’m also sharing why, despite the bad days, HR is about partnering with people, not managing them. You’ll hear what it really means to navigate complex human behaviour, create positive cultures, and yes, sometimes be the bad guy (with a heart). If you’re wondering whether HR is still the right place for you, or need a reminder that you’re not alone, this one will hit home.
Before you go… do you secretly love solving human puzzles or are you just stuck in the trenches? Connect with us on LinkedIn and let me know. Better yet, have a listen and let me know who the Steve is in your workplace? Let’s chat.(#sorrysteve)
