Workers are flooding this ex-McKinsey consultant with bad-boss horror stories. He says they reveal a growing trust problem for HR

Good morning! George Stern, formerly a McKinsey consultant, has gained attention for his viral videos exposing bad-boss behavior in the workplace. One such incident involved an employee's grandmother passing away, leading to a manager questioning the validity of bereavement leave and criticizing the timing. Stern shared these texts on camera, spawning a wave of similar stories from other employees who had experienced mistreatment.

Stern, now running his own firm, is alarmed by the growing betrayal of trust between employees and HR. He believes corporations are out of touch with the realities of their employees' experiences. Stern advises employees to document workplace issues thoroughly to prevent HR from lacking the necessary evidence for investigations.

However, he acknowledges that he is merely amplifying the voices of employees who have encountered such issues.
