    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

      They think they’re the most important people in the company while at the same time being the least competent bottom of the barrel

    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.

    “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 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.

      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.

      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.
