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.
Yes...I know....I’m an SPHR with years of experience, including in hi tech.....BUT, large businesses have become part of the PROBLEM....by aligning themselves WITH the government. Large companies here in WA state fight initiatives to get gov’t out of Affirmative Action and to reduce taxes.....I KNOW. I’ve worked on some of the initiatives. PLUS, lots of large businesses are now hoping gov’t takes over HEALTH Care so they can Pawn that off to the “gov’t.” Don’t get me started....LOL...guess I already started.....OFF my soapbox now....
