SHRM Hit With an $11.5M Reckoning — And ChatGPT Recaps Our Year in HR

Send us Fan MailIt’s been quite a year in HR… so naturally, we decided to let ChatGPT weigh in.But before we get there, we start with a story that’s a little more serious (and a lot more expensive): SHRM and an $11.5 million reckoning that raises some uncomfortable questions about leadership, accountability, and how things can go sideways even at the top of the HR world.Then, because we like to balance chaos with… slightly different chaos, we turn things over to AI.Yes, really.We asked ChatGPT to recap the year in HR — and the results are somewhere between insightful, mildly concerning, and a reminder that even robots are starting to understand workplace dysfunction.In this episode, we cover: What happened in SHRM’s $11.5M situation (and why it matters)  Lessons for HR leaders who think “that would never happen here”  The biggest themes and trends from the past year in HR  And what happens when you let AI summarize an entire profession If you’ve ever wondered how HR looks from the outside… or from a machine that has read way too much internet, this one’s for you.Support the show
