HR=evil

I'm startin' the NaBloPoMo thing a day early, only because I've got something buggin' me today. I should probably save this topic for a day when I can't think of anything.

Nah.


Why are "Human Resources" departments always evil? I have yet to work for a company where the HR department was staffed by decent human beings. Sure, I understand that HR needs to put the needs of the company ahead of the employees, and that means sometimes having to be the bad guy. What I don't understand is why the people who work in HR seem like they'd sell their own grandmother off if it meant an extra buck for The Company.

I find this an interesting observation. In my line of work, I regularly deal with my clients' HR people. They typically fall into two categories: great and not great. I feel lucky that most of them really are great. I'm sad you haven't met the great ones yet.

I haven't met any great ones yet either. They've all been like robots. Well...actually that's insulting to robots.
