Let’s address the elephant in the office:
 Nobody likes HR.

Okay, that might be a slight exaggeration… but not by much.

In this episode, we dive into the long-standing (and very vocal) frustration people have with HR — where it comes from, why it persists, and whether some of it is actually… deserved.

We get into:

  •  The most common reasons employees say they don’t trust HR
  •  Where HR actually earns that reputation (yes, we said it) 
  •  The disconnect between what HR thinks it does vs. how it’s perceived
  •  And why “we’re here to help” is often met with… skepticism at best 

This isn’t a defense of HR.
 It’s not a takedown either.

It’s more of a brutally honest conversation about why HR sits in one of the most awkward positions in any organization — and why that probably isn’t changing anytime soon.

If you work in HR, this might sting a little.
 If you don’t… you’re probably already nodding.
