Free-for-all hiring based on favoritism and nepotism. These "
professionals" work FOR the company or organization and not for the employee, but technically, the org is comprised of managers that are sub-humans, so the title became "
Human Resources".
Traits of HR personnel are: laziness, low-confidence,
authoritarian, anti-social, and weak-willed.
Many venturing into the profession quickly abandon their career as they have a higher morality than the bottom-feeders who choose to suck their soul away into the dingy abyss known as "Corporate". Look in to their eyes and notice the emptiness and lack of personality.
Official definition: Slag who hates people and him/herself and wants to control others.
Still, no one really knows what else they do in-between interviews and "think-tank" sessions - yeah, okay...you mean coffee(booze)-breaks and surfing Ebay for resued self-help books, craft supplies and spanx.
Fred: "Hey, did you see that new movie about
that chick that was all
possessed and killed her family for eternal control
after the rapture?"
Bob: "Yeah, yeah! She was totally HRing!
Luci: "Oh, my gawd! Did you just see Jen totally hit on Meg's fiance after she just told Meg she was so happy to be her bridesmaid?! What an HR move!"
Arlene: TOTALLY HR!
