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.
