I’m about to end employee 8675309’s whole career*.
I got your number on the wall
8675309 about to become null
Poor Jenny.
Fire me? Fire deez nuts in your mouth HAHAHAAAAAAA gottem
You should try that when you get fired or “let go”
HR personnel are such creeps. It really does attract a certain type.
Sub that cutie for a fatass overcheerful teddybear lookin dude and i been there
I’m going through it right now. Got a good review, but was demoted, but they didn’t expect me to actually stay, so they are forcing me to quit
That sucks.
All I can say is polish up the ol’ resume and start searching while you have the security of a (shitty)job
Yep. I got a few weeks of severance
Forget about the third-party assessment, how do you think you were doing?
How recent was this? Did they change your hours or your duties significantly or show favoritism in how they treated another employee in your pre-existing role?
People who actually do quit in that situation may have a claim for constructive dismissal.
Oh sure, but if you look a little beyond the surface you’d see people who also just want to keep their jobs, just like you.
It’s easy to vilify those you don’t like, it’s hard to really look at them and see that they aren’t that different from us
Okay but wanting to keep your job as a nurse at a charity clinic and wanting to keep your job as an IDF colonel are not the same.
You’re comparing an HR employee to a military officer? That’s apples and oranges right there.
But I’ll bite. Most military officers and enlisted are people too, you know. They got kids, they love and hate people too. Hell, even terrorists. Ones terrorist is another person’s liberation hero. I’m sure most IDF officers too mat have misgivings about the war they fight but when you’re in a military you don’t get to complain, especially during a war.
It’s easy to vilify people, it’s hard to see that each and everyone of us is a human being with hopes and fears.
I mean, maybe in the German SS, but I’m pretty sure every single “Israeli” SS officer gets off on the warcrimes. bad example.
also, intentionally do three (instances of-sometimes you blow up a hospital filled with orphans and POW’s in a secondary strike on a medic; happens to the best of us) warcrimes in a year, and the only reason you still count as human is for harvesting parts.
Shit take. People that take HR jobs are that different than us. It’s like cops, the job only attracts the exact type of person that shouldn’t be doing that job.
Some time ago, I met an HR person at my job. She wasn’t actually part of the workplace HR team, rather, she was more like a classmate of mine, but she had worked as HR in the past and wanted to continue to do so in the future. She was kind and polite, so I never had any beef with her, but she consistently had the shittiest, most inhumane takes on how to manage and interact with people I had seen in a while lol.
Meeting her made me arrive at the conclusion that you just said. Empathetic people that get into HR with the idea of helping make the world a better place would eventually resign or, at least, be very ineffective as HR. The only people capable of staying in HR for a long time are sociopaths who don’t mind lying and being obtuse in job offers, and ruining someone’s life so their boss can squeeze a couple of extra cents. The profession itself only serves to make companies more ruthless and adds nothing of value to the world.
Police officers actually don’t just attract bad people, they are specifically selected for it (in the US anyways, in other countries governments may actually care about that sort of thing though YMMV.
Same for human resources. I’ve known quite a few people working for HR and most are just people, lie you and me, doing a job they mostly like, but yeah, sometimes requires them to be in shitty situations that they didn’t envision before.
I’ve never met a HR person I liked. The best I could feel twords then was quiet toleration… Now Ops folks, those people busy their asses to keep the ship from sinking.
Except they have access to everyone’s salaries so they have greater bargaining power than we do. Not exactly the same as the average employee at a company.
May be so, but they’re still human, love their kids, have problems just like you and me, and most importantly, they too can lose their job. I can just as well say that since I oversee all tech in the company that I work for thst, technically, if I wanted, I could see everyone’s salary too. Doesn’t make me better or worse or different than you.
The point is that they have greater bargaining power than the average employee at a company, not that they aren’t human. I didn’t say they were better or worse than anyone.
Yeah, but I’m good at my job and they aren’t.
Yeah that’s funny. Most people think they’re good at their job while in my experience,.moet are mediocre at best.
Not saying you’re mediocre, but let’s just say that I imagine me being less good at my job than I think, even with the raving reviews I got.
That ruins the brevity and wit of the joke.
That was the one good thing I did all week! I needed that. Those little points were holding up my house of cards. Only my toaster loves me!😭❤️⚡️💧
Naw, I’d be rich sitting on a beach somewhere sipping a Mai Tai if I was something above mediocre, or maybe I wouldn’t be because regardless of my skill level we live in an unfair capitalist society which rewards those who are the most willfully exploited and with the fewest morals. 🤷🏽♂️
Anyway, maybe we should leave the joke alone and not think that hard about it. K?
They’re so damn incompetent at most of the places I’ve worked. It’s astonishing
My HR team has been doing layoffs inside their own department. It’s kind of interesting to watch.
Based
Is this an actress, or am I missing a reference?
It looks like Anne Hathaway, who is a pretty well known actress. I think they just used her for the meme because of her smile.
I’d let her fire me all she wants
Kinda looks like a weird Anne Hathaway
I think it’s also in reference to people getting fired over zoom. Also, it could be referencing how gen z will record their firings now and post them to tiktok to shame the company, LOL. I love gen z!
Yes, pretty sure on both accounts.
Felt good the day I told HR they didnt need to invest any more resources to “help” me. I was done and the boss clearly didnt care about having me around so I told them to fire me.
People Team. It’s called People Team now.
Bahaha you’re only people? I am an authentic Talent, managed by our beloved Talent Managers. Yeah there won’t be any raise or bonus this year, the shareholders got all the benefits, but I’m a Talent. Wow this feels great.
Ours is “People Experience” now
Department of Human Capital
“People, selling people, to people”
Going to HR to get fired, yet another meeting that could’ve been an email.
We would like to shift our structure to a more flexible model of management to accommodate for unforeseen market fluctuations.
So I am fired?
As I said we want to reschedule you indefinitely as our potential support asset. This pool is very prestigious and privileged position to be in.
So will I get paid?
As much as we would like to, truly, It is legally impossible for us to provide you with any funds outside of a legally binding contract which needs to be terminated in order to shift to a better state of financial buoyancy.
Corporations: never use 5 words when you can use 20. Obfuscation is the key.
I work in HR and can tell you this is true
If past.lives are real then every hr employee across the globe had a past life as some middle manag3mentnpaper.pusher making the Holocaust possible.
If you work in hr there’s about a 99℅ you are irredeemably evil.
If you work in hr there’s about a 99℅ you are irredeemably evil.
That’s a funny way to spell “If you are a billionaire”.
Actually…
Most people doing their job quite literally are just doing their job, trying to make it to the end of the day. Believe me, even people in hr love their children, worry about the future, worry about their job, have hopes, fears and dreams and have to contend with shitty bosses.
Can you imagine one day the CEO coming in with a list of people that YOU have to fire, that YOU have to face, that will cry and yell in front of you as if you’re the one who did this to them?
Most people are pretty okay, actually, and not remotely evil. They might do bad things because they’re pressured or feel pressured, most people don’t enjoy firing others.
The HR person who works with my team actually said “I actually really like firing people. Well, that didn’t sound right… but I do like making these changes.”
ha ha ha… ok. Cool.
Sociopath much?
Yeah, be careful with people like that.
I can totally get some in the position don’t like what they do.
Just following orders.
Hannah Arendt would like a word with you, and you’ll be crushed when it’s over
I get your point, but in practice It’s not that easy. If you have a family that depends on you, you’d pmbe surprised what you’re willing to do not to lose your job.
Would you prefer them be weeping? No really I wonder which people like getting bad news from more, happy or sad people.
I’d rather they rip the bandaid off and not pretend they are my friend. You are firing me. You are removing me from my source of income. Stop trying to be “pleasant” because it just looks like you are enjoying it.
No smiles, no affected happiness, no weasel words about being “let go”. Just say “yeah, sorry, you’re fired”. The more emotionless you can make it on your end, the better.
Heck don’t even fire me in person. Send me an e-mail. It’s a lot more… Humane. Less cruel.
I would rather they self-flagellate throughout the entire process.
Better than self flatulating
I’ve already got that part covered
I mean, I’d like them to act like they feel bad. I think that’s what most people are after. Some semblance of “this is wrong and I’m sorry”
I prefer them to not be enjoying it, nor taking it lightly that I’m losing my income and I’ll be struggling over the next series of months to make ends meet.
Resource. It’s in the name. Dehumanization.
You’d be shocked the depravity people will sink to once others are no longer human in their eyes.
Empathy is not weakness, do not let our current economic system fool you. Nothing lasts forever.
That’s why they have been rebranded as “people team”. Soon they will be rebranded “family council” because people is too steryl, and we’re all a family after all.
Steryl Meep?
Ugh. Sterile*
