How about dropping the Newspeak term “human resources” and going back to “personnel”, too?
I have been promoted twice within my current company. Both times my resume wouldn’t have made it through he HR screening process. The search is more about finding the right key words than about finding the right fit.
To clarify, according to HR, I wasn’t qualified to replace myself.
They just do want to hire Americans. They can pay the visa holder lower wages and fewer benefits.Bill gates been doing it for years.Many of these workers sit beside Americans in the same college learning the same trade.For some reason only the visa holder can do the job.
American managers project their incompatible on American engineers.
That’s incompetency.
Of course not since you didn't volunteer for a hefty cut in pay.
“We can’t hire you...Your not foreign enough.”
Companies exist for HR. Somehow HR has developed the mentality that they are the Heart and Soul of a company.
More like the cancer.
The “personnel” organ was more benign, or perhaps that’s just a matter of perception on my part.
We are dropping the term “human resources,” could we drop the term “masses” as well?
“How about dropping the Newspeak term “human resources” and going back to “personnel”, too?”
“Human Resources” is so five minutes ago. It’s now “Talent Management”. No, really.
“Companies exist for HR. Somehow HR has developed the mentality that they are the Heart and Soul of a company.”
Actually, to a degree this is true.
But...
The purpose of a modern HR department is to protect the management from the employees.
“To clarify, according to HR, I wasn’t qualified to replace myself.”
Same here.
“We can’t hire you...Your not foreign enough.”
People might chuckle at this statement, but it’s actually true. I genuinely believe that I would have been much better off doing an interview with a very, very good fake accent.
“We the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful. We have done so much for so long with so little that we are now qualified to do everything with nothing.”
That tells us more about our "education" system than anything else.
