In this episode of WTF is Business Casual?!, Jenny and Sarah are doing something a little different. Reacting in real time to the viral workplace advice flooding your social media feeds. From the Dan Martells and Gary Vs of the world to random HR "professionals" who've been fired multiple times and somehow think that's a flex, Jenny and Sarah are calling it all out.
They get into the corporate communication channel chaos that's quietly destroying everyone's brain, the bereavement leave situation that will make your blood boil, a pay transparency moment that's equal parts inspiring and messy, and an HR person who thinks standing alone is a personality trait.
