Work Sucks x Kelly Venkiah (S1, E5)

What this episode covers

This week on Work Sucks, we sit down with Kelly Venkiah — corporate HR powerhouse turned mentor and the co-founder of the HR Confidence Club — who has navigated more ethically questionable workplace situations than any one person should reasonably be expected to endure. Kelly brings the perfect blend of warmth, wit, and “oh dear God, that really happened?” storytelling as she walks us through the moments that shaped her philosophy on confidence, courage, and calling out nonsense when you see it. From dodgy directives to corporate tightropes that would make even seasoned HR pros break into a cold sweat, Kelly shares how she learned to trust her instincts, protect her integrity, and help others do the same. She’s candid. She’s unshakeable.  Whether you’re an HR pro, a manager, or just someone who’s been told to “just handle it” one too many times, Kelly’s wisdom will make you feel seen, empowered, and a little less alone in the madness. Find Kelly on Linkedin and check out her website.
