HR is the most critical department in any organization. Pay, benefits and discipline. Automate that and have unhappy workers.
Even a small change creates big dissatisfaction.
People want to hear the voice of a person who cares in HR.

I’m waiting to hear some expert claim that the most recent hires don’t actually do anything productive, and the expert figured that out because of performance reports; especially with work-from-home new employees. Sometimes it takes a few years to figure out that a new trend in management doesn’t work, and then even longer to do anything useful about it.

Their HR folks need to start using DNA tests so they can make sure not to hire people with one drop of white blood.

:-(

My jobs change radically about every 6-8 months, both because of changes in what we are working with, and because we find holes in expertise that need to be filled in before they get out of hand.

Everyone in any sort of technology-related field needs to constantly pick up new skills, and learn how to meld new with old. Many new technologies are rejiggered versions laid on the bones of old one, then reformatted.
