What Happens to HR When the Owner Is the Problem
This episode started with a LinkedIn message. A practitioner at a 75-person firm, HR department of one, had been listening to episodes on toxic employees and sacred cows, and she asked the question nobody wants to ask out loud: what do you do when the toxic person is the founder? That question is what this episode is built around. Not how to manage up. Not how to influence without authority. What to actually do when the person creating the problem is the person at the top, with no one above them to escalate to.
