Episode 74 - HR vs. $exy Potatoes
from Need Not Apply Hosted by Gina and Gary Cavallo
Gina and Gary are back with a shorter-than-usual episode of Need Not Apply — our first accidental minisode, because apparently even the podcast needed a lighter workload this week. This episode features a coworker who turns potato-eating into a hostile work environment, an AI that apparently started calling everyone goblins, and a new hire who clearly has way too much time to worry about other people’s lunches. 📚 Stories in This Episode A coworker reports another employee to HR for eating potatoes “too suggestively.” One person responds to nosy coworkers by inventing increasingly absurd explanations for how they lost their fingers. 📰 News Stories Discussed Three teens invent a tamarind powder that removes microplastics from water using a magnet. Research suggests needing to pee may improve self-control and decision-making. OpenAI fixes ChatGPT after it starts using goblin and gremlin language too often. 📬 Submit Your Stories Have a workplace nightmare, customer meltdown, or retail story we need to hear?
