The podcast for employers and employees who think it's time to talk about the failings of workplace culture - and how we can do better. Host: Tanya de Grunwald

How did HR get ‘trans inclusion’ so wrong? The reckoning starts today, as we expose deep ideological capture at the HR industry body @CIPD - and its CEO’s friendship with trans activist Katie Neeves. It’s a scandal (involving knickers & the police!) 🧵(1/3)

Sometimes it's hard to spot an activist lawyer - and other times it's really easy. It's been a weird week on Linkedin, but characters like this have been unexpectedly helpful. Sensible employers are making good choices about where (and where not) to place their trust.

Regarding injecting children as young as 8 with puberty blockers, @wesstreeting admits “I’m deeply uncomfortable” but says that he’s “trying hard as a politician not to interfere or block clinical advice by people who are frankly far more qualified than me”. This gut feeling

Employers and employees must be able to trust the employment tribunal system and its output. If standards have collapsed, public confidence will follow. Little typos can have a big impact.
Yesterday, 11th December, just as the Certificate of Correction in the Sandie Peggie Judgement, with respect to the errors in citations and quotation of the ruling in Forstater came to light, we became aware of a deeply concerning error with respect to the reference of Not All

Too many employers have let workplaces get out of control, as described here. Now they need to get tough, reset standards and clear out problem people. The timing of the Employment Rights Bill could not be worse.
The HR Cult That Turned Work Into Therapy There is no cleaner picture of the modern woke workplace than an HR giant that preaches "wellbeing" while dragging staff to security for being one minute late. SHRM calls itself the global authority on work. Inside, you find a pregnant

Cowards liked the idea of 'allyship' because it was easy. Now it's getting harder, they are showing they were always cowards. The activists should not be surprised. The support they thought they had was never as strong as it looked.
@IsntWorkingPod @Clifford_Chance @Google @BarclaysUK @bp_plc There seems to be a lot of trans demanding that 'allies' step up. But allyship is not something that is given because someone demands it, it's given because the ally chooses to give it. If they now don't give it, they clearly believe the cause is not worthy of allyship any more.

Stark turnaround. The money has dried up. @IsntWorkingPod is across all these developments, and the speed of the change looks ‘brutal’
More sad scenes from the Trans in the City 'gala' in November - once hosted by @Clifford_Chance and sponsored by @Google, Sky, @BarclaysUK and @bp_plc. There are no logos this year because zero brands backed it. Sounds like they might not bother for 2026. Time to call it quits?

They all followed each other into this mess. They will follow each other out - led by the companies with the smartest bosses. Roll on 2026!
@IsntWorkingPod @FraserMyers @spikedonline I wish I could have your confidence but in trying to have these conversations with leadership at my place of employment I simply can't. Well done for stating DEI as Equity and not Equality in the article.

NEW: Just spoke to a tech CEO about this piece - he agrees senior activists have been a nightmare for CEOs (soft power) and they've had enough... hence the Christmas clear-outs! Ho ho ho

Cheering piece from Tanya (@IsntWorkingPod) 🔽. While ‘performative allyship activity’ soldiers on in the public sector (& in Scottish Employment Tribunals), there are plenty of signs that the corporate world is rapidly moving on.

Excellent article by my friend Tanya. Deserved smackdown on the EDI/DEI bullshit out there Assess risk of employee conflict, equip HR and managers to sort it, & move on. That's what HR needs to do, except they are so poorly trained by the @CIPD that this is going to take forever

‘The message is clear. There is a crucial difference between the student / university relationship, and the employee / employer relationship. If you don’t know what it is, you’ll have plenty of time to work it out while you’re looking for a new job’

Their reporters have pronouns in their email signature, so that might be why? And their Editor previously edited Glass and Glazing Products magazine 😬🙄 Get it together @hrmagazine
Worrying from @hrmagazine, which has spoken only to lawyers who believe the Sandie Peggie judgment genuinely qualifies the Supreme Court ruling. Example: ‘The judgment is a helpful example of how the Equality Act should be applied in practice’

Transgender lions, intersex bears and genderfluid orangutans?! This madness passed for 'diversity training' for far too long - and it's why so many heads are stuffed with absolute nonsense now 🦁🐻🐵🤨 Anything to say @Cheese_Peter @CIPD? You're still CEO for another 6 months
This is a repost (compilations) of the whole ridiculous CIPD training session which has to be seen to be believed. From 2024, with all manner of gender and trans nonsense. @IsntWorkingPod

I think going forward, all women must specifically ask if companies have single-sex restrooms/changing rooms before starting a new job. Make them clearly state that they do not allow males to self-identify into these spaces.
Prediction: Whatever the law says, if hospitals can't guarantee changing rooms are genuinely single-sex, qualified women will leave nursing in droves, and new ones won't replace them. In employer speak, the 'talent pipeline' will dry up. Just watch.

The FANG 1.0 vs. 2.0 ratio appears locked in a declining wedge pattern. One may wonder what percentage of investors (who contributed over $250B in net flows into large-cap core and growth ETFs this year) are aware of this (source ycharts).
