 Netflix’s Adolescence has everyone talking about boys, violence, and toxic masculinity. But what if the most dangerous lessons aren’t coming from the playground… but from the boardroom?

In this episode, we dive into how toxic workplace cultures—built on aggression, overwork, and unchecked misogyny—are bleeding into our homes and shaping the next generation. From the CBI scandal to the failures exposed by Sarah Everard’s murder, we’re asking tough questions about what companies are teaching their employees… and what those employees are teaching their kids.

Why are boys learning to equate masculinity with control, dominance, and emotional suppression? And what can employers, parents, and society do to rewrite that script before it’s too late?

This is Celebrity HR Department — and in this episode, we’re investigating how the lessons we reward at work are the ones our children are taking to heart.
