Human Resource Managers

The more experienced I am, the more I despise Human Resource Managers. They create more strife and turmoil than they every resolve. Everything is a closed door investigation with them. You can take a happy group of employees and management, put a human resource manager in the mix and suddenly its Sarajevo.
Hr Nazis. I hate HR Nazis.

Now, assuming the person was reasonable in asking for more money, and negotiating, seems like the HR could have handled it better.
This was maybe Twenty Years ago.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
When Grandpa' Kenny died, on a Thursday evening, I called my boss, said Tom, my grandfather just died. I have power of attorney over his affairs, per Union Rules, I get one day off paid and up to 2 days off unpaid for a grandparent. Told him I would be back in town and at my job the following Wednesday. He said no problem, see you Wednesday.
Wednesday walk into work, head over to my area and the Union Stewart comes over and says that HR wants to see me. OK.
Go into HR, the b###h says sign these papers. What papers?
Your terminated for no call / no show, with extreme prejudice, no unemployment pay.
WAIT !!!! I called and cleared it with my boss !!!! It is in the day book. My grandfather died. Turned to the steward and said do something. "Nothing I can do, you do not clear your leave with the HR."
Get Tom, my boss in here............ Tom comes in. Yes, I cleared him. The * wouldn't let it go. I was sent home to bring my grandfathers death certificate, obituary notice and proof of travel. Next day I had my job back.
Didn't stay there too long after that.
The guys in the shop called her, "Attila the Kathy"
"Attila the Kathy"
At my job we called the HR person Hitler and her assistant little Hitler.
I now work at a place with no hr. Everybody gets along well.
They once had an hr. They refer to those days as the "dark ages"
I learned over time that HR was not human nor a resource. I also learned over time that HR is an extension of the legal department so take that under consideration before you sign or agree to anything.
Lo and behold, the engineering dept. called me a few days later wanting me to rewire a machine that was going out of the country! They offered me $60/hour (cash), and the machine was off site at a big machine shop. They let me work at my own pace and keep track of my own time. Needless to say, I made back the $1000 plus a good bit of interest. [8D]
Then they offered me a ridiculous amount to go to Serbia and install the machine, which I refused.
A few weeks later, I ran into the HR manager in a store, and told her what I had done, and that I still thought she was a B*&^%$.
The captain of the Red October knew just what to do with his political officer![}:)]
HR is where women with a degree in nothing of any value go to annoy the productive members of society.
Amen.
