This episode of I Hate It Here is getting spooky with a second edition of HR Horror Stories!

Last year, we dove into tales that had us shaking our heads, and this year?

Let’s just say my jaw’s still on the floor after these submissions.

I’ll be reading these stories exactly as they were submitted, and trust me, they’re a reminder that nobody outside of HR quite understands the unique trauma we face.

Tune in to hear about The Bad Employee, The Unhinged CEO, and yes, even a Rubber Duck and Plastic Dinosaur making their grand entrance.
