Passive Aggressively Talking Like A Pira...

Warren Workman & CeeCee
About this episode

Ever wonder just how far an HR manager could go in reprimanding an employee? Buckle up as we dish out the jaw-dropping tale of a manager who took things too literally and sent an irreverent cake to an employee's home. As we pull back the layers on this wild mishap, we'll also be urging you to leave reviews on Spotify to bolster our efforts in delivering intriguing content.

Bouncing off the cake debacle, we venture into the realms of workplace communication, deciphering the labyrinth of frustrations that often seeps into our work lives. More than just HR horror stories, we're exploring the dawn of anonymous messaging websites and pondering the unusual proposition of monetizing pet messes. Strap in for a whirlwind of real-life anecdotes, "practical" advice, and a good dose of humor to help you navigate the sometimes murky waters of human resources. This is one episode you don't want to miss.
