Our HR person is "currently on leave", but it's not any kind of official time off according to our work calendar. I hope she's getting fired.

Maybe she’s sick? But yeah after how she’s been treating you like a shit stain hopefully she is

You could send her two tickets to a Coldplay concert... See how that goes.

no she's the firing person

@jestdotty HR can still get fired

I sent this to our HR on their last day at work:

She thought it was really funny, but she left on good terms.

@TeachMeCode no, sick leave is recorded in the same system. She's just showing as "on leave" on slack and a few people have said she's on holiday but any of that would be visible on our holiday calendar. So here's hoping. I'm wondering if it relates to me making a subject access request that includes examples of her lying to me...

Teeheehee

@YourMom > "I sent this to our HR on their last day at work"

Ahhh..Strange Brew. Classic.

@TeachMeCode > "HR can still get fired"

We've fired two HR VPs since I've been here (nearly 28 years).

First one for reasons unknown, we think he and the CEO got into an argument over something. Nothing nefarious, he was a good guy.

Second one (replacing the first one) was a hire from one of those really expensive corporate placement companies. Came in with very impressive credentials, could talk the HR talk, etc.

All fell apart when he was expected to do actual HR work. He was kinda surprised that he would be expected to understand our insurance, local employment/safety regulations, etc, saying "At my last job other people do that work."

He was here maybe two weeks.

I sometimes understand the hate for HR, so I guess we're lucky. Our HR folks are rock stars.

No touchy-feely team building nonsense, you come to work and you get paid.

@PaperTrail my first job, HR was great. They didn't do anything other than tell people to leave me the fuck alone. I absolutely loved it. Now
this stupid cow is trying to speed run breaking as many laws as possible then lying as much as possible to cover it up, tried intimidating me to which my answer was "get fucked".

@PaperTrail > "Our HR folks are rock stars."

Example of rock star attitude.

HR VP 'Adam' (who started as a logistics mgr, worked his way up) knew about how hourly folks would game the system by clocking in/out multiple times gaming how the software calculated the hours worked (TL;DR).

Because their software didn't log the behavior, we had no way of proving this occurred.

Fed up with the complaints, Adam one day called a muster of the entire logistics department, outlining from this day forward, anyone caught gaming the system would be fired immediately. No warning, no probation, you're fired.

Adam: "To prove I'm serious, Jeff, Tom, Bill. You're fired. Get out. You're final check will be direct deposited"

Jeff: "YOU CAN'T FIRE US! YOU HAVE NO PROOF! THAT'S ILLEGAL!"

Adam: "This is a right to work state. I can fire you for wearing brown shoes. Get out."

After that, folks gaming the system suddenly stopped.

@PaperTrail I game the fact the time clock rounds time to nearest 15 minute mark for its calcs. But it records the actual time I clock in/out. So they CAN tell. I will leave at 4:56 knowing it will count that last 4 minutes as being there until 5. The mark is actually right at 4:53. Seven 8 minutes past 4:45. Plausible deniability.

@PaperTrail god I'm happy I don't live in America...

@PaperTrail that's not a rockstar... that's a slave driver lol

what's it matter how many hours you do if you get the work done. this is why I have PTSD. it's not a damned prison yard

I am starting to understand why people get passive aggressive. if this is the world we have to accept then people deserve it. in your 8 hours of work I can do several weeks. that means I'm punished. because fuck you. you didn't stand up straight and salute. Sally over here can't remember how to log into her own computer for 2 hours of every day. should I become like her? is this what "going beyond" looks like? look busy and be an inhumane dick?

it's vile

I don't want to pretend to work. I rather automate so much of the job we can all just fuck off and chill, basically supervise the code. why hasn't anyone realized programming is automation galore? have you all lost your damned minds? escape the fucking prisoner mindset. fucking hell

I recall having to record hours for a full time salaried position. Why? Who knows….it was a remote dev position too

@TeachMeCode yeah I had to do it for salaried but then if I was even 15 minute under they deducted my pay... even tho where I live you have to pay overtime on salaried they never did also
