Why HR Doesn't—Can't—Work with Jordan Birnbaum
Buckle up for a riotous romp through the HR jungle on The Chad and Cheese Podcast! Hosts Joel Cheesman and Chad Sowash, the dynamic duo of workplace wit, are joined by Jordan Birnbaum, the Glinda Group’s co-founder and resident HR wizard, who’s ready to zap some sense into the corporate chaos.
Armed with his industrial-organizational psychology and behavioral science superpowers, Jordan dishes on why HR is stuck in a Dilbert cartoon, flailing under outdated structures. He’s calling for an HR glow-up, splitting it into specialized squads to actually support employees instead of drowning them in paperwork.
The trio dives into AI’s takeover of HR—think less “Terminator,” more “clippy on steroids”—and how it’s shaking up everything from hiring to watercooler chats. They also tackle generational workplace vibes (Boomers, Millennials, and Gen Z, oh my!) and why agility is the secret sauce for HR that doesn’t suck.
With Jordan’s vision, it’s all about crafting workplaces that don’t make you want to rage-quit on Monday. Expect sharp insights, belly laughs, and a few “HR-rible” puns as Joel and Chad grill Jordan on building a happier, less soul-crushing office life.

Indeed Ejection
On this episode of The Chad & Cheese Podcast, it’s birthday hangovers, five liters of port, and one big "healthy budget" middle finger from Indeed. Maureen “Mo” Clough is back and just in time to witness Chris Hyams “decide” to leave his CEO chair... right before his old boss waltzes in and takes it. Coincidence? LOL.
👉 Indeed jacks up prices and slaps on a euphemism: Healthy Budget. Translation? Pay more, get less, and smile through it.
👉 Hyams gets the boot—my bad, gracefully exits stage left—after steering Indeed into a horse-and-buggy pricing model.
👉 Workday faces a class-action lawsuit over algorithmic discrimination. Cue the AI ethics panic.
👉 Rippling and Deel continue their Spy vs. Spy meltdown with more lawsuits than Bravo has Real Housewives.
👉 And yeah, AI might end your job, your industry, and your peace of mind. So Mo’s pricing bunkers and praying for universal basic income while Chad’s drinking port like it’s Y2K.
From laugh-out-loud corporate chaos to serious HR wake-up calls, it’s a bender of an episode. BYOBunker

Jeremy drops truth bombs about why HR compliance is the unsung hero of keeping companies out of hot water, all while juggling the chaos of ever-shifting regulations like a circus clown. They dive into the thrilling world of data collection—because who doesn’t love a good spreadsheet?
The trio also tackles the nail-biting drama of poster compliance (yes, those break room posters are a big deal), the affirmative action planning glow-up, and hot-button issues like immigration and I-9 forms that make HR folks sweat.
