Someone works in HR and is tired of rightly being called out for being a corporate stoog who will always side against the employee…
“Am I out of touch? No, it’s the employees who are wrong.”
I know it was just a typo but I’m going to start calling people “stoog” from now on
Lmao
DON’T BE A STOOG
If someone spends 95% of their day helping some people, and 5% hurting others, it can be hard for them to separate the two. It’s a purposeful, systemic issue driven from the top down in more than just HR. Law enforcement, middle management, even insurance to an extent.
Business leaders need to step up to take responsibility for their teams before anything in HR will change. This is why I like small companies.
Insurance is more than “to some extent”. Insurance companies are there to make a profit and protect as much of their gross revenue as possible (not just US health insurance either). The more they give back to customers as claims, the less they have for market investment, or just straight CEO pay and shareholder dividends. One possible exception for non-profit insurance companies, but they are pretty rare (unless you’re in Florida and the state insurance is all that’s left).
I wasn’t talking about the companies themselves, but the employees within them, to an extent.
Why is she listing responsibilities of HR and asking us to feel grateful about them? Why do they act self-important?
The HR industry exists so that an entire subset of the workforce is dedicated to protecting corporate interests from the workforce
They’re like “gays for Republicans” who don’t get why everyone seems to hate them
What’s funny is that no one wants to be in HR, it’s just that’s where they end up and they have to play it like it was not them settling for what they can get.
Same with insurance

They think they’re the most important people in the company while at the same time being the least competent bottom of the barrel
It may be the stilted writing. “Approach to” is as dumb as “as big of a”.
For *, you despise HR, those fucking corpo muppets that will attempt to stab you in the back at every opportunity.
Remember rule of acquisition #48:
The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.
Never forget, HR is your enemy.
Do I have to tip HR?
20% is the going rate, or 10% if you work at a buffet.
Every job I’ve had HR is filled with complete idiots. I will always make fun of HR
I work in corporate I.T and HR frequently tell us to delete user accounts only for us to then get calls from users who don’t understand why their accounts are being deleted. This happens five or six times a year. I don’t understand how they can think people are leaving when they’re not. It’s not even like they were on maternity leave or something, they are just plugging away, doing their jobs without issue, and then HR randomly decided they quit.
You have to be a special kind of moron to work in HR, a simple lack of intelligence just doesn’t cut it, you need to be able to not only make a mountain out of a mole hill, but make a mountain out of completely flat terrain.
Who the heck makes inquiries with HR prior to leaving a job?
Morons, who play right into the hands of HR!
The only times anyone should talk to HR is when they are hired for a job and when they leave a job and you don’t talk to HR until you’re actually leaving. Not when you’re thinking about it. When you are ready to walk out the door, and you have another employment offer or you are retiring. Never before then.
What is “fast reliving”? Some kind of necromantic spell??
I think it’s related to “Doing the needful”
I’ve never made fun of hr, never seen a reason to. Also I have the feeling, that they’ve very much my health in mind and are on my side more than the employer.
But I live neither in the USA nor India, so different rules, different culture.
“Waiving the notice period” my ass. It’s wild to me how this idea that it’s required to give notice when you’re quitting a job is so ingrained in society.
It’s a courtesy you can extend if you want to ease the transition for the company or leave on good terms, but it is absolutely not required.
I think in many countries it’s codified by law.
But hear this: the employer needs to give notice too. Crazy right?
I’ve got a feeling she is HR
What’s an experience certificate?
IIUC there is a system in India to prevent people from working two jobs, which is that you need to present some paper that you get in your current job that certifies you left to get employed at the next one.
It’s ghoulish if you ask me.
