In the last month, how many HR decisions landed on your desk that you weren't actually trained to make?

If you added up the hours, what would this be costing your real job?

Is your HR generalist growing into more judgment — or quietly learning that the real decisions always go through you anyway?

I want to start with a sentence I hear from CFOs constantly, almost word for word: "I don't know how I became the HR person around here."

Nobody hands a CFO that job on purpose. No offer letter says "also, you're now the senior HR leader." It just happens — one unanswerable question at a time, until finance is quietly running people decisions they were never trained, and never meant, to run.

Today's episode is for the business owners and CFOs who've found themselves there. Because the CFO Trap isn't a failure of anyone's competence. It's what happens by default when a company has an HR generalist but no senior HR leadership — and the most senior person left standing gets pulled in to fill the gap, whether they wanted the job or not.
