Olympics, Women Can Mansplain Too and Employees You Love To Hate
Episode 23
Thursday, 26 February, 2026

Send a textEver had someone CC half the company to “helpfully” point out your missing comma? We’ve been there. Today we unpack the office characters you secretly love to hate—the grammar police, the drama magnets, the nonstop talkers, and the tech dinosaurs—and share practical ways to set boundaries without burning bridges. We start human: the joy of a quiet morning with coffee and hockey, Olympic highlights, and the weird entertainment value of curling controversies. Then we get to the heart of HR work—how small details can derail big moments, and how to keep credibility when your tools lock after launch.We break down what separates a helpful edit from a public gotcha, why precision matters in performance reviews and open enrollment, and how to proof smarter in systems like Workday and UKG. We also dive into AI’s double edge. Yes, it catches typos and speeds up drafting. But it can flatten everyone’s voice and hallucinate facts. Our take: treat AI like a smart intern—use it for structure, then rewrite in your tone and verify every claim. On the hiring front, we explore subtle ways to spot AI-generated resumes and emails, from odd phrasing to robotic follow-ups, and we share prompts and cues that nudge applicants to reveal real thinking.From there, we tackle culture moments big and small: how to redirect bias in the room without escalating, how to build a mother’s room and shut down rumor mills with clarity, and how to handle the six-hour orientation derailed by a single talker. Expect scripts you can steal, boundaries you can set, and playbooks for keeping meetings on track. We even admit our side gig as family IT support and the simple boundary hacks that save your sanity at home and at work.If you’ve ever wished your workplace had fewer what-the-heck moments and more calm, you’ll find real talk and ready-to-use moves here.
