  S2, Ep6: Time tracking

  Jul 28, 202626 min

  In this episode, hosts AnnE Diemer, Claire Baker, and Krista Lane peek behind the HR curtain to unpack workplace time tracking, from basic clock-ins to billable-hour logs and time audits. They discuss why some industries and roles require detailed tracking for compliance – payroll accuracy, meal and rest breaks, and overtime rules that vary by state – as well as nonprofit requirements to separate lobbying and advocacy time. They contrast useful time tracking (ensuring fair pay, staffing coverage, and identifying efficiency improvements) with harmful or “bullshit” tracking used to micromanage, squeeze productivity from every minute, or justify performance decisions, including an example where strict arrival-time enforcement was used to fire someone. The conversation highlights how different roles and personalities experience tracking differently, and concludes that time tracking is nuanced and should fit the work and workplace needs.

  May 6, 202641 minS2

  <p>In this episode of HR Peep Show, hosts AnnE Diemer, Claire Baker, and Krista Lane pull back the “HR curtain” on why job interviews often go badly and what makes them effective. They share horror stories of disorganized, disrespectful processes, highlighting how poor interview experiences can misrepresent the job. The conversation contrasts hazing-style brainteasers with intentional, role-relevant ways to see how candidates think, emphasizing structured interviews, clear rubrics, and preparation to reduce redundancy and mitigate bias (including the “violin behind the curtain” example). They also stress candidate experience details (scheduling, breaks, snacks, respect), recommend fewer questions in 30 minute interviews, regular...

  S2, Ep4: HR at Playboy

  Apr 24, 202633 minS2

  <p>In this episode of HR Peep Show, host AnnE Diemer continues the “HR is everywhere” series by interviewing HR leader David Gaspin about his path from a musical theater degree and years of auditioning in New York to building a long HR career. He explains what was unique about doing HR in early-2000s media, where relationship-based influence mattered more than policy enforcement, and shares what it was like leading HR for Playboy’s New York magazine office, including the workplace “social contract” around content and a sexual harassment case that crossed the line by personalizing comments. HR is everywhere...
