  • Zen and the Art of Remaining Employed

    Zen and the Art of Remaining Employed
    Jan 30 2025
    In this episode of production notes Tom and Charles discuss upcoming guests and employees with a talent for achieving a Zen state - they're in all the team pictures, they go to all the offsite birthday parties and participate in the sack race at the company picnic. They are liked, ride the consensus in every meeting, and manage to coast on their well-cloaked marginal usefulness, having drifted into a Zen state of suspended ambiguousness: there but no there, central but peripheral, constant but disposable. Great work if you can get it!

  • Diabolically Funny: Evil HR Lady Does Improv

    Diabolically Funny: Evil HR Lady Does Improv
    Jan 17 2025
    Suzanne Lucas is known far and wide as the Evil HR Lady - which is sort of like referring to a mafia hitman as the murderous hit man. Yes, we know, taking people out is your job. Though in fairness to hit men, they’re more efficient than your typical HR professional, and leave a far lower body count. But Suzanne is not your typical HR professional or, more precisely, HR consultant. Unlike most competent, well-meaning, albeit deeply unfunny HR people (with apologies to HR people), she brings humor to her work…and by that I don’t mean that she’s just funny, which she is...she actually uses improv comedy in her HR workshops, when she’s not doing it on stage. Suzanne joins us today from her home in Basel Switzerland, the Borscht Belt of Mitteleuropa (well, not exactly), to talk about her passion for improv comedy, how she uses it in her consulting work - and, demonstrate her chops with Tom as her intrepid improv partner (he came prepared, though add a level of complexity for trying to do improv over a Zoom call!).
