Ever wondered how LinkedIn influencers turn likes into livelihoods, or why resumes are still a thing in the digital age? We've got you covered in this episode with the entertaining trio from the Corporate Pizza Party Podcast—Mike, Farrah, and Dan. Together, we tackle the quirks and questions of corporate and social media life with humor and honesty. Mike shares the origin story of their podcast, revealing how leveraging internet fame can lead to insightful and hilarious discussions about the absurdities of the corporate world. Warren might be battling a cold, but that won't stop the laughter and lively banter.

Join us as we dissect the world of social media personas who’ve found fame not through expertise, but through clever content creation. We introduce you to the likes of Roberta, whose LinkedIn popularity may not match the quality of her expensive resumes. Our discussion shifts from individuals to the broader culture of engagement bait and copy-paste narratives on platforms like LinkedIn. We also explore the often-overlooked complexities of HR work, dispelling myths and misconceptions about a field that often gets blamed for issues beyond its control.

But it's not all fun and games—we dive into serious topics too. The nuances of salary negotiation and the importance of transparent communication between recruiters and candidates are dissected with practical advice on how to navigate professional expectations in a changing workforce landscape. Whether you're curious about the generational shifts in workplace attire or the pitfalls of faux negotiation tactics, you'll find insights and humor in equal measure. So tune in, laugh along, and learn with us as we unravel the mysteries of HR, one "what the fuck" moment at a time.
