🚨 Unlimited PTO is a trap. PIPs are a power move. And recording your employer? Let’s talk about it.

Welcome to Episode 3 of Barely Legal HR™, where we’re pulling back the corporate curtain on the workplace policies, practices, and power plays that employees need to know about.

This episode, we’re getting into:

💀 UNLIMITED PTO: THE TRAP. Is unlimited vacation actually a benefit, or is it just a clever way for companies to get you to take less time off? Let’s talk about what’s really going on behind that shiny little perk.

📋 PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT PLANS (PIPs): Is your employer genuinely trying to help you improve, or are you being handed a corporate paper trail on the way out? We’re breaking down what PIPs can mean and what you should know if one lands on your desk.

🎙️ RECORDING YOUR EMPLOYER: Thinking about hitting record during that questionable meeting with your boss? Hold up. There are legal considerations you need to understand before you do.

🤖 AI IS CHANGING THE JOB HUNT: From AI-generated resumes to employers using AI in hiring, the job search is changing fast. We’re talking about how to navigate this new reality without losing your humanity in the process.

Whether you’re an HR professional, a job seeker, a manager, or an employee who has EVER thought, “There is absolutely no way this is legal” — this one’s for you.

No corporate fluff. No performative professionalism. Just real talk about the workplace nonsense we’re all expected to navigate.

Because knowing your rights, understanding the game, and recognizing the red flags can make all the difference.

🔥 Welcome to Barely Legal HR™. Where the workplace gets exposed, the BS gets called out, and HR finally says the quiet part out loud.
