Our HR critters use a case-management system, badly. They have an internal process, but never adapted the default workflows to match it. So the pendejitos are always trying to clean up self-inflicted gunshot wounds to their feet.
And yet oddly (and predictably, and likely disastrously, etc. -) some HR departments are among the very first to glibly upload their (our) everything’s into constantly shifting unreliable AI “products”. Not speaking hypothetically 😐
Agreed, but we should include studying the precise wrong things, meaning conclusions drawn about how the world works - and with their own charming dedication, if describing how that time is spent.
Mustn’t forget HR typically is quite competent, just not at things we easily identify (because that’s an inherent component of their competence).
that’s because they don’t want you to know when you’re getting fired.
I used to watch the category for decoms that had keywords in the subject line. someone from HR found out somehow (loose lips probably) and they stopped making tickets entirely.
it’s a shame really. I had a really awesome script watching the same criteria for my name 🤣. nothing heinous, just some farewell messages and dirty laundry.
It’s weird, I got laid off by a west coast tech giant and they gave me two months’ notice, and they were happy to have me doing nothing that whole time (and I’d had nothing to do for about six months prior to that). I was remote so I guess they felt that I couldn’t fuck shit up on the way out.
Somehow, HR processes are always exempt from the ticketing process.

Funny stuff, that.
Because the people who work in HR spent their educational years avoiding anything technical.

sounds like a nice place with good lawyers.
