Default How crap is this..

Yesterday, two chaps were laid off..

They have a months notice which takes them into next year.. HR have requested and insisted that they must still have to be given appraisals.

I can see it now:

Employee comments..: Huddy is a ********

I hate HR.. No sense of humour at all.

When I started, they asked to see my O'level certficates (which I lied about on my appliation form). I said that I smoked them at a graduation party. No reaction, she just scribbled something down.. Prat most likely

I need to set up a National business where i can offer the services of handling people that others do not want to.
Then you could All carry a card with my number on it & just give it out to whoever without saying a word.
Then said person could ring me & explain the problem/Issue.
Then i could tell them to **** off in my You know i ******* mean it voice

I had to do an appraisal with my old shift manager when I transferred to Sysadmin. Both of us thought it a joke.

What are your weaknesses in your job? "Irrelevant"
What do you need to focus on to improve your NOC work in the next year "Irrelevant"

etc.etc.

Someone told me 'HR is becoming far more systematic. It's practically a science these days.' He was my signing my time sheets at the time so I didn't laugh in his face, but it took a herculean effort of composure not to.

2 months after you let those guys go a forward load chart will show you needed to start hiring 6 weeks ago.
