What We Say vs. What We Mean (w/ Shelby Evans, PHR, CDR)

In this episode of HR Stew, we’re decoding the secret language of HR—those polished, professional phrases that sometimes have a hidden reality. From job postings to performance reviews to corporate culture buzzwords, we’re pulling back the curtain on what HR says and what’s often really going on behind the scenes. Joined by special guest Shelby Evans, we break down phrases like “We’re looking for a team player” (translation: you’ll be doing three jobs) and “We have an open-door policy” (but does anyone actually use it?). Tune in for laughs, insights, and maybe even a few workplace red flags to watch out for!
