| 0:00.0 | Steve, I remember you telling a story about how you basically got HR to add some more stuff to the employee handbook because it wasn't in there, correct? They were at CBS Radio. They were very, very, very strict about their handbook, and they put out a new one each year. They would have you sign it. If you violated any of those, you could be let go. So Miles and I both kind of made it a policy to do different things. Yeah. Let's see if we can get a monkey and put it in the boss. Let's not sign that book. Right. And then what we found out, they would update that in the CBS handbook each year. Why, yes, they would. In fact, there's a whole list of things. The men's room top 10. The men's room top 10 Ten Ten or more things |
| 0:39.3 | HR experts say you should never do while you're at work. |
| 0:44.7 | Well, I worked in radio now for 30 years, |
| 0:47.1 | and one thing I've got to say is I've had my share of HR people |
| 0:50.3 | that I don't know I would say |
| 0:51.8 | were or are the most moral or ethical people I've |
| 0:55.0 | ever met. Maybe that's why I got along so well, like I had one who would pull out the old |
| 1:00.5 | THZ vape pin for a quick hit or two. This person offered me a hit one time, so I obliged. Now, |
| 1:07.9 | I rarely have had any good interactions with the marijuana, and one hit off this thing |
| 1:13.6 | I had to sit down because I was about to pass out. |
| 1:16.6 | Two lessons learned here. |
| 1:18.6 | One, I'm a little bitch. |
| 1:20.6 | Two, HR people can be a lot of fun. |
| 1:24.6 | I know exactly what we're talking about too. Oh, yeah? Oh, God, yeah. This is a true story? Yeah. This particular HR, I loved them for obvious reasons. But, yeah, they were... Thank God it wasn't me. Yeah. Lordy. So these are 10 things that HR experts say that you should never do while you're at work. They go to the bottom of the list with getting too political. Well, sure. Right. Believe it or not, bringing up politics at work is like lighting a match in a room full of fireworks. Office debates about politics usually spiral out of control. And even if you're calmly sharing your opinion, these conversations often leave coworkers feeling uncomfortable or alienated. Work is for collaboration, not arguments. |
| 2:03.3 | So keep the political talk to close friends outside the office, and you'll avoid a lot of unnecessary attention. Or you don't have to even talk to me. If I'm a close friend, let's just hang out. We don't even talk about that. Well, now that we're at the bar, let me tell you, man. I'm like, no. No. I don't want this. Already read the story. |
| 1:57.6 | Next time, the boss yells. |
| 1:59.1 | Hey, hey, I'm here to collaborate and I'd argue. |
| 2:01.1 | That's right. |
| 2:01.7 | Oh, that's a good one. Yeah, for two seconds. Acting like the rules don't apply to you. I don't know in any situation where that gets you ahead. I plead ignorance. I found that not working for it. Okay, man, I didn't know that. |
| 2:34.6 | You didn't know. |
| 2:36.4 | No, I didn't. |
| 2:37.9 | Be honest, you know nothing kills team morale faster than someone who plays by their own rules. |
