Best of HR Happy Hour - Number 5: 'HR Horror Stories'
Sunday, May 15, 2011 at 8:23AM
This week as we are counting down to the 100th Episode of the HR Happy Hour show, (Thursday, May 19th at 8:00pm ET), I thought it would be a good idea to look back through the archive of the first 99 shows to pick out my personal favorite Top 5 shows from the first two years of the HR Happy Hour. One, because it is fun to look back on some of the early shows, and two, for some of the show's newer fans, it would be a chance to perhaps introduce them to some of the older shows they may have missed.
So without further ado, today we will start at Number 5 on our countdown, Episode 15 - 'HR Horror Stories' - original air date October 22, 2009.
As this show was close to Halloween, the craziness, insanity, and general 'Did they actually just say that?' were in full effect. Bizarre interview tales, employee relations nightmares, and some stories that were so surreal I think my ears and sensitivities are still a little scarred.
Why I place this show in my Top 5 is that while certainly being fun, funny, and entertaining, it also kind of felt like we had come a long way in developing the kind of community of HR professionals that were becoming comfortable being really open, honest, and a bit unguarded. And also because some of the stories were simply outrageous.
So in case you are new to the show, or even if perhaps you do remember all the way back to Episode 15, I hope you will give it another listen.

Be sure to come back tomorrow, and the rest of the week as we count down to number 1.
