HR Nightmare

  • The Grotto Community Center 19 East Philadelphia Street York, PA, 17401 United States (map)

Let’s circle back. Action items pending.

Welcome to HR Nightmare, where speakers take the stage as if they’re presenting at the biggest meeting of their careers - bosses watching, executives judging, jobs on the line. The catch? They haven’t seen the slides ahead of time.

Charts will appear.

Buzzwords will surface.

Decisions will be made with total confidence and absolutely no preparation.

Speakers must explain, defend, and passionately stand behind whatever appears onscreen - even when it contradicts the previous slide, undermines their argument, or introduces a pie chart no one asked for.

At the end of the night, the audience votes on who gets fired and who earns a promotion. (All firings are fictional. All humiliation is real.)

Hosted by The Hangar, this event isn’t about leadership strategies, best practices, or KPIs. It’s about office politics, meetings that could have been emails, and the universal fear of being asked to “walk us through this slide.”
