from Sounds Like an HR Problem · host Ashley Massie and Yang Nam

You had questions. Yang and Ashley have answers.In this special listener Q&A episode, they tackle four real questions submitted by listeners — and get surprisingly real about their own experiences along the way.First up, what do you do when your manager is too checked out or introverted to plan any team building while every other team in the company is out having a good time? Then they get into the big one — what are your options when you're being sexually harassed and you don't trust HR to handle it? Spoiler: there are more options than you think, and some of them exist outside the company entirely.From there it's ageism in the interview room, the struggle of breaking into the job market with a so-so GPA and zero experience, and finally — the high performer who's also kind of a nightmare to work with. Can you performance manage attitude? And what happens when a leader just refuses to deal with it?Real talk, real advice, and yeah — they went on a few tangents. But honestly those are some of the best parts.
