What’s really going on behind closed doors in HR? In this fun and fiery chat, Jodie sits down with Miranda McLennan, a non-traditional HR professional who has seen it all. From personality hires to pay transparency, Miranda spills the insider tea on how HR actually works, why “high-performance” cultures are often code for burnout, and how you can spot red flags in your job hunt before it’s too late.
We get real about negotiating a pay rise (without feeling awkward), why your resume should show who you are beyond the bullet points, and how to protect yourself during performance management. Plus, you’ll hear the funniest sickie excuses Miranda’s ever received, and her unfiltered thoughts on bosses, boundaries, and navigating the tricky line between work and social media.
This episode is equal parts educational, empowering, and entertaining. Perfect for women carving out their careers, building confidence at work, and wanting the unfiltered truth about HR.
