Ever wondered how a seemingly innocent trip to Key West could turn into a stormy adventure? Join Cee Cee and me as we kick off this episode with some hearty laughs, celebrating International Podcasting Day and recounting the chaos that ensued when Cee Cee's boss came back from vacation. I also share my son's change of plans due to adverse conditions in Western North Carolina, which led us to plan an off-road escapade on the mid-Atlantic backroad discovery trail. Plus, we can't forget to give a special shoutout to our amazing Patreon supporters and tease a few exciting guests we've lined up for future episodes.
What's going on at Tesla's Gigafactory in Germany? We dive into the peculiar situation where employee call-out rates are off the charts, sparking discussions on cultural differences between European and American workplace policies. From the benefits of a paid time off (PTO) plan to absurd stories like an employee faking a relative's death just to get time off, we cover it all with a mix of humor and insight. Don't miss our analysis of case study interviews, where we weigh the pros and cons of providing candidates with interview questions in advance and explore the impact of company culture on interview prep.
The episode wouldn't be complete without some entertaining workplace anecdotes. From my experience writing a final paper on "American Factory" to the humorous yet stressful reality of monitored drug screens, we touch on every facet of the HR life. And if you've ever found yourself in a tricky situation, you'll appreciate our light-hearted banter about surviving HR, one "WTF" moment at a time. Tune in for a blend of valuable insights and laugh-out-loud moments that every HR professional can relate to.
