HR Data Doodles: Season 6 - HR Confronts ADDICTION

HR Data Doodles: Season 6 – HR Confronts ADDICTION tells the story of ORANGEU PLAYING MUCH (OUPM), a successful gaming company who partners with the wildly popular HallowBox platform quietly creates addictive behaviors for both customers and employees, forcing HR and leadership to confront the human cost behind explosive growth.

Core storyline
The season opens with familiar workplace humor as Charlie (the HR AI bot), analysts Teddy and Ethan, and the broader OUPM team juggle day‑to‑day HR work, benefits, data audits, and open enrollment while the business continues to thrive. At the same time, CIO Steve and General Counsel Jane are approached with a lucrative proposal from HallowBox, a strange, immersive gaming hardware company seeking exclusive content from OUPM. Early episodes show the leadership team intrigued by the revenue potential and user buzz, even as small warning signs emerge that players and internal staff may be getting “hooked” on the experience.
