Episode Synopsis

Tech ​f​ounders, CEOs, and venture capitalists alike have cracked the code to eliminate ​H​R departments in just three easy steps. Step ​O​ne: replace recruiters with an AI that promises to "remove bias" but somehow keeps hiring people named Chad. Step ​T​wo: turn performance management into a gamified app where employees earn badges instead of raises. Step ​T​hree: declare that workplace culture will now be managed by a Slack emoji poll, because nothing says "values-driven organization" like reacting with a thumbs-up. ​T​here you have it! HR is officially "disrupted," and the humans in human resources are conveniently out of the way—just as the ​t​ech bros intended.Tech Bros Video: Get Rid of Your HR Department in 3 Easy StepsHRDLY Guest: A serial early HR leader at tech startups, Stacey Nordwall is currently the VP of People Strategy at Pyn.
