Thumbs down Bosses Boss Dropped in with HR to just say Hi!, WTF!

He NEVER comes by unless he wants to see my boss, and he's out of town. Haven't seen an HR person since I joined here six years ago. WTF!

Or the Jonah brother's South Park was closer to the truth than might have been thought.

You have meddled with the primal forces of nature, Mr. Hugh, and I won't have it! Is that clear? The Arabs have taken billions of dollars out of this country, and now they must put it back! It is ebb and flow, tidal gravity! It is ecological balance! You are an old man who thinks in terms of nations and peoples. There are no nations. There are no peoples. There are no Russians. There are no Arabs. There are no third worlds. There is no West. There is only one holistic system of systems, one vast and immane, interwoven, interacting, multivariate, multinational dominion of dollars. Petro-dollars, electro-dollars, multi-dollars, reichmarks, rins, rubles, pounds, and shekels. It is the international system of currency which determines the totality of life on this planet. That is the natural order of things today. That is the atomic and subatomic and galactic structure of things today! And YOU have meddled with the primal forces of nature, and YOU...WILL...ATONE!

You said that you wanted to retire... might just happen sooner than you thought!

Hope not and hope all is well!

Other than performing perfunctory research into benefit programs, schmoozing healthcare salesmen and contracting with outside computer programmers to develop job applicant databases (all tasks that frankly any college intern could do), what exactly do HR people actually do anyway?

Have any companies seriously analyzed how much money they'd save and how many REAL jobs (the ones that actually make their company money) they'd be able to save if they cut out the HR deadweight?

God forbid we apply logic to this problem...

Don't even get me started...

Um, if you really understood what any company with more than couple of dozen employees has to do to maintain compliance with employment laws, deal with nutty employees that have not learned basic communication skills, hire, warn, fire, etc. etc., then you would not make such a simplistic assessment. And No, I'm not an HR person, but the company I ran sure had a great one.

If you want a real answer to your question, let me know.
