HR Isn't Your Friend: How to Fight Back and Get What You Deserve with Dan Goodman
What if the fear and self-doubt you feel in a toxic job are intentionally manufactured by the company—and you hold more power than you think?
In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica Rooney sits down with Dan Goodman, founder of the Dan Goodman Employment Advisory. As a corporate veteran who witnessed unfair tactics from the inside, Dan now acts as the strategic counter to HR, having helped employees negotiate over $11.4 million in severance increases in the last 27 months.
Join them as they pull back the curtain on predatory PIPS, severance negotiation, and why "your employer is not your family" is the most important lesson for every high-achieving woman.
Inside the Episode:
- The Great Severance Lie: Dan shares his origin story—a pivot from commission verification to helping employees fight back—and the staggering financial impact his advisory has had.
- Why the PIP is Despicable: A raw, experienced-based take on why predatory PIPS (Performance Improvement Plans) shouldn't exist, and how they are intentionally designed to blindside high-performers and make them quit.
- The "Gerbil Wheel" of Stress: Understanding the intentional plan to undermine your mental health, confidence, and trust, and how to stop spiraling down the "rat hole" of personalized self-doubt.
- HR Is Not Your Family: Why the Human Resources department is primarily there to protect the company's interests, and how to use HR only when you are ready to strategically plan your exit.
- Your Documentation Playbook: The three crucial buckets of information you need to gather (starting on Day One) to build your case and protect yourself before you are locked out of your systems.
- Severance Negotiation: Before You Arrive: Why executives should negotiate their severance and restrictive clauses before taking the job, and why a C-Suite member should expect a full year of compensation upon termination.
- Flipping the Script: The most powerful technique for women facing termination: moving from defending yourself against the employer's false narrative to articulating your truthful narrative, backed by their actions.
If you are a high-achieving woman facing unfair treatment, a PIP, or simply want to know how to protect your career and your worth in the corporate world, this conversation is an essential guide to fighting back.
