Quietly Profound HR: SHRM's $11.5M Reckoning and Chat GPT Recaps Our Year
Episode 19
Wednesday, 17 December, 2025

Send us a textStart with a candid reality check: the leading HR association just lost a racial discrimination and retaliation case, and the verdict wasn’t small. We unpack what an $11.5M judgment against SHRM means for credibility, compliance, and the daily work of HR practitioners who’ve been told to trust the “authority” voice on fairness and DEI. If the standard-bearer fails its own standard, how should we rethink where we place our time, money, and learning?We walk through the essentials: what the plaintiff alleged, how the court weighed treatment and retaliation, and why the optics of a hard push to appeal could prolong pain without repairing trust. Then we get practical. If dues and big-tent conferences aren’t delivering real value, how do we build a better PD stack? We talk labor and employment law briefings, focused workshops, and choosing events that sharpen practice rather than inflate brand. Expect an unvarnished lens on HR keywords that matter right now—DEI credibility, retaliation risk, workplace investigations, and organizational accountability.To lighten the load, we run an AI-assisted tour of our own year: weaponized incompetence finally clicking for teams, HR through pop culture that teaches better than white papers, and a grab bag of unhinged workplace moments we handled with restraint. We also call time on rage-bait content and the algorithm that rewards outrage more than insight. Our answer isn’t performative—just better habits, clearer choices, and PD that respects your attention.If you care about ethical HR, compliance that actually works, and professional development that pays off, this one’s for you.
