HR's Pet Peeves

Hey Besties!

Happy Wednesday! Got any work pet peeves? HR definitely does! But we're not your typical HR - we're the “work is tough, so we’re here to make it easier” kind. AKA, we’ll never leave a half-eaten piece in the doughnut box in the break room. Tune in to this week's HR Besties to hear our biggest pet peeves in HR, and don't forget to read to the end for a chance to share YOUR biggest pet peeves with us!

This week:

• Intro Story - Corporate Tipping: The suggested tips at the counter these days are eye-popping, so what about in Corporate? (Hear how a Bestie experienced this in a corporate environment)

• Corporate Cringe Speak: It’s Olympics season, and this week we’re inspired by them (Cue the “Chariots of Fire” soundtrack)

• Hot Topic - HR Pet Peeves: By request of HR Bestie listener Sarah, we’re diving into some of HR’s pet peeves, from dress code violations to false emergencies (And if you have pet peeves about HR? Keep reading)

• Questions & Comments: Ever had someone try to talk to you immediately upon getting into work, before you can even put down your emotional support water bottle? (It’s too real)

Discussion Guide - Questions for your weekly HR Besties podcast discussion club or team meeting:

• Corporate Tipping: What do you do at work that you think they deserve a tip for?

• The Finish: When we finish a big project or goal, how can we celebrate before jumping into the next “thing”?

• Pet Peeves: What are your pet peeves? How do you address them without losing your cool (aka while maintaining a positive and productive work environment)?
