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!
