The Way We Get By: Working for The Man

About this episode

Danielle Diel shares her experiences working in Human Resources and the challenges of unemployment in the modern workforce.

The Way We Get By: Dispatches from the Debt Heads Universe A weekly-ish companion series that asks friends and listeners one question: how are you getting by? This dispatch is from Danielle Diel, a Human Resources expert and Debt Heads listener who felt inspired to share her story about working for "The Man" and trying to do right by her colleagues by becoming "the People's HR". Despite being dedicated to working hard, Danielle has found herself unemployed three times in the past four years and wonders what gives in a world where we seem to devalue the human in Human Resources.
