"Other Duties as Assigned"

Hey Besties!

Ever started a job thinking it was one thing, only to look around six months (or six minutes) later and realize, wait… this is NOT what I signed up for? Maybe your role “evolved” (translation: you now do three jobs instead of one), or leadership made a “slight adjustment” (translation: your entire department just merged with another). If this sounds familiar, you’ll want to sign up for this episode…er, listen.

In This Episode:

• Intro Story: Ashley had a full-on medical emergency while traveling for work, and and let’s just say, she found her people in Kansas City (shout out Teri and Ajia!)

• Corporate Cringe Speak: A very tiny version of a “parking lot” (but admittedly, two of the Besties have said it)

• Hot Topic: When your job changes overnight - what employers should do, what you should do, and how to know if it’s time to speak up (or move on).

• Questions & Comments: Ashley’s million dollar idea… (and yes, she did buy the domain: http://www.shhshed.com/)

Discussion Guide – For Your Next Podcast Discussion Group or Team Chat:

1. Workplace Emergencies: What would people like to see more of when traveling for work? (aside from a traveling concierge doctor, which would have been helpful in 2009 for one Bestie)

2. Job Bait-and-Switch: Have you ever taken a job that turned into something completely different? How did you handle it?

3. Keeping It Real: Are there aspects of our hiring process where we could be more upfront, particularly about any potential changes that might affect new hires soon after they start?

That’s it for today, Besties! Here’s to keeping it real, keeping it fun and knowing that your Besties are basically the three work friends you wish were in your office - because we actually get it, and you.

XOXO,
Your HR Besties
