“ I have a degree from the Art Institutes”
…so how’s Starbucks workin out for you?

It’s been my observation that people with what I’d consider unemployable degrees end up working in HR. Seriously. And that results in policies that should not be there. I was accused of sexual harassment even though the woman in question said there was no harassment. The rule was, if an uninvolved third party thinks there’s harassment, then by definition there is harassment. In my case the third party thought that other people might have perceived it as harassment even though my accuser didn’t think it was harassment. (That would be a non-existent fourth party in my case.) All of this was in a gobbledygook policy written by an HR person with a degree in something like “Intersectionality.” I was saved by sending a copy of the policy to the legal department with an explanation of how it would open them up to unbounded risks. The legal department quashed it, but I ended up with a letter in my file. Thiry years of good service marred by absolute stupidity. Nobody is safe.
Well, I’ve been working in IT for the last 18 years so I wouldn’t know.
