THIS is one of the reasons I got out of HR.....too much like GOVERNMENT!
Or...I should say...HR SHILLS for the government and management!
And vice versa. I always say our gubmint is like the world’s largest HR dept. They talk the same crap—jobs, benefits, health insurance.
They’re doing this because Government has stuck its nose where it doesn’t belong. Same for affirmative action and “equal opportunity”. Same for much benefits administration. The goal of HR is to help management meet its human resource needs despite the Government.
