Welcome back to Jokes Out Loud, the show where we take everyday workplace moments and turn them into comedy gold. I’m your host, Thomas Smith, and today we’re diving into a very special part of corporate life—HR emails that sound suspiciously friendly.
You know the ones—the emails that start with “Hi there, hope you’re having a wonderful day!” and end with “…please see me in the conference room immediately.” Those messages that feel like a warm hug followed by a sudden push off a cliff.
Today, we’ll explore why HR emails always sound like a cross between a greeting card and a warning label, the psychological horror of receiving a meeting invite with no subject line, and that moment when HR says “We just want to talk,” and your soul leaves your body.
So buckle up, relax, and check your inbox… actually no, maybe don’t.
