HR Horror Stories - HR Happy Hour


In this episode of HR Happy Hour, it was their 2nd annual HR Horror Stories show. In this podcast Steve and Shauna invited people to call into the show or tweet to tell some good horror stories. Apparently the show wasn't as good as last years, and I could tell that they were stalling in order to give more time for people to call in.
It seemed that everyone that called in knew the hosts of the show, which makes sense. Only someone who is well connected in the HR field would be able to pull off the show that they do.
Some of the most ridiculous stories included a guy from the UK named Bill that told of a time that he was interviewing a man for a position in the company. Bill said that as he was walking into the room, he could see that the man was looking at a picture on his phone and was very interested in it. Bill saw as he walked by that it was a nude photo of a woman. Bill sat down and wanted to see how the guy would respond to his actions. So Bill asked what was so interesting on the mans phone, in which he replied "My girlfriend is hot! Take a look." The man turned his phone around to show Bill the nude picture of the woman. Bill, not knowing how else to respond said "I agree. She is hot!" They went from there into the interview.

Another included a story about a woman, who turned out to be a germ-a-phoebe, was going to the bathroom in the ladies restroom, but not into the toilet. They eventually found out who the woman was by the ladies around the bathroom keeping track of who went in and out of the bathroom and then checking after they left the condition of the bathroom. The lady who was using the bathroom incorrectly was fired for her actions.
