A Corporate Pizza Birthday with the Chief Meme Officer

This is not a drill, The Corporate Pizza party is back with a new episode for our one-year anniversary! in true Corporate Pizza Party style, where planning is optional, but laughter is guaranteed. We're thrilled to welcome Jamie Jackson, the Chief Meme Officer behind Humorous Resources and Millennial Misery, as well as co-host of the HR Besties podcast, who brings her unique blend of humor and HR insights to the table.

Together, we explore the ups and downs of corporate culture, embracing the chaos and joy of candid conversations, all while drawing parallels to the charming spontaneity of a Lady and the Tramp spaghetti moment.

The discussion eventually takes a professional turn as Jamie reflects on balancing her HR career with her meme-making endeavors, offering a humorous take on work-life balance.

As the conversation unfolds, we tackle serious issues within the healthcare industry, sparked by reactions the killing of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson and the systemic challenges faced by many. We highlight the financial burdens and inefficiencies of the American healthcare system, contrasting it with more accessible options in countries like Costa Rica. The widening gap between executive and employee salaries also comes under scrutiny, alongside the societal norms that push individuals towards side hustles. Throughout, we emphasize the importance of humor and advocacy in addressing these pressing issues, urging listeners to join us in seeking a more equitable future.
