HR

Short for Human Remains. Unsavory creatures, often found in larger organizations, allegedly related to the homo sapiens. Sometimes mistakenly referred to as the Human Resources department. Some say these peculiar life forms play a role in acquiring and keeping top talent in an organization but empirical observations have determined they do nothing of the sort and merely try to justify their existence by changing the organization’s employee performance evaluation framework every 5 years and by concocting corporate catch phrases, often printed in glossy brochures and posters, e.g., “our employees are our most valuable assets”.

- Dude, you look so upset! What’s going on?

- HR, man! I have a meeting with Human Remains later today, man. Wish me luck!
