About this listen

Hi Besties! Join us, Cat and Dee, for HR Nightmare, the comedy podcast where we

discuss everything you’re definitely not supposed to talk about at work.

Every two weeks we dive into it all, from "let’s have a quick chat" emails to the absolute

audacity of office politics, we’re getting deep into the best (and worst) of Reddit and your own

personal horror stories.

We’re talkin’ breakroom gossip, weekend shenanigans, and the professional trauma we

all use comedy to cope with.

Our mugs are full, the tea is piping hot, and we’ve got incredibly strong opinions on it all.

Grab a seat in the breakroom and join the gossip!

Got a story? Send us your juicy, "no fucking way," "how are you this stupid?" moments.

Let’s laugh, scream, and flip tables together.

    Episode two kicks off with Cat and Dee catching up on their own recent drama and their unique experiences as women navigating the world of technicians. The duo shares their own insanity with work before diving into the breakroom gossip we all live for: Dee recounts a skinny-dipping date that nearly turns fatal (in more ways than one), while Cat shares a pre-vacation waxing horror story that is every woman’s literal nightmare. The tea stays hot as Dee questions if a message from a friend means it’s time to dump the man over the photo dump, and Cat tackles a young lady who doesn't know how to confront their roomie about keeping their "personal" encounters behind closed doors. Between the laughs and the logic, the hosts offer unfiltered takes on whether to stay for the splashes, head for the vacay, or just move out. One this is clear: life is messy, and we’re here to spill the tea on all of it.

    Nothing bonds a work friendship quite like the "huddle and whisper" - that sacred ritual where you spill the weekends most unhinged tea, while maintaining a perimeter watch for HR. That delicate dance of sharing every spicy, non-professional detail while keeping your ear turned for the sound of your Directors dress shoes before pivoting to "project completion" and "Q3's final numbers" at a moments notice.

    Buckle up for the series premiere as Cat and Dee dive headfirst into the chaotic trenches of the modern workplace. In this episode, the duo peels back the laminate on two wild submissions. A deep dive into a restaurant encounter featuring a customer who defines the word "jerk," a Home Depot employee finds themselves caught in a professional predicament that wasn't in the training manual, and chilling yet absurd tale of an older employee who decides the best office accessory is a firearm, leaving the entire staff in a high-stakes HR panic.

    Between the horror stories, Cat and Dee get personal; sharing the absurdity and total insanity they’ve navigated in their own careers. It’s a relatable, unfiltered look at why some days, the "Human" in Human Resources feels like an endangered species. Whether you've survived retail or dodged a toxic boss, this episode is the catharsis you didn't know you needed.
