Back to EpisodesCan Women Mansplain? HR Debates Workplace Double Standards ⭐
Description
This episode has a little bit of everything: the Olympics, employee side hustles, and a workplace debate that is guaranteed to make at least one person in HR deeply uncomfortable.
We kick things off with a question no one asked for but everyone has an opinion on:
Can women mansplain?
(And more importantly… should you be having that conversation at work?)
From there, we dive into:
- The reality of workplace double standards (and how they actually play out)
- Employee side hustles — when they’re fine, when they’re not, and when companies pretend to care
- Why some workplace debates are less about being right… and more about not getting yourself fired
It’s part cultural commentary, part HR therapy session, and part “maybe don’t say that in a meeting.”
As always, we bring a mix of sarcasm, real-world perspective, and just enough honesty to make this slightly dangerous to play out loud.
