Fun with HR July 19, 2025 Season 4 Episode 44

This episode of, "Fun with HR," features a discussion between Rosandra and Jeff about three significant workplace issues. First, they analyze the cancellation of Stephen Colbert's show by CBS, exploring whether it constitutes retaliation for his critical comments about the network's payout to the U.S. President, while also considering the show's low viewership. Second, they dissect a "kiss cam" incident at a Cold Play concert, where the HR person and CEO's intimate moment led to the event planner's termination, raising questions of harassment and corporate responsibility. Finally, they address the tragic death of a 19-year-old in a meat grinder incident, emphasizing the critical importance of workplace safety protocols like lockout/tagout procedures. The show also included a segment with Kevin Brannon from "The Real Guppy Outdoors" where we discussed the trip to iCast with the Reel Guppy Outdoors team and a discussion about the Oceans of opportunity program.

The show concluded with a detailed conversation about mental health in the workplace, advocating for open communication, empathy from leaders, and accessible resources to break down associated stigmas.
