Talk Strengths To Me
Manage episode 410433308 series 3554909
In an eyebrow-raising move that has left many questioning their grasp on reality, the HR department has decided to enroll in an executive coaching program to fine-tune their already polished people skills. Yes, you read that right - the folks who are supposed to be experts in human interaction are now seeking outside help to perfect it. Cue the collective eye rolls and stifled laughter from the rest of the company. "Because nothing screams 'competent' like needing a coach to teach you how to talk to people," remarked one employee, barely able to contain their sarcasm.
As the coaching sessions kick off, bets are being placed on whether HR will emerge with newfound empathy or just a knack for regurgitating management jargon with a straight face. Ah, the joys of corporate absurdity - where even the professionals need a professional to remind them how to be, well, human.
