I've long held that If I were forced in to an open floor plan office I would have no qualms about shooting myself in the face, in front of everyone, at my "hot swap" desk.
I wouldn't even feel bad about the mess left behind.
I always told my joes to wait for the "don't be a mass shooter" briefs to off themselves or the "don't shoot yourself" brief if they wanted to kill everyone else.
I can't wait until the HR department goes the way of the 3 martini lunch middle manager position. A position which ironically got decimated because of the creation and rise of HR departments.
I guess they have a Finance, a Legal, or an Accounting department that does all their duties, then? Possibly something dispersed to all three?
Like it or not, HR is an integral part of every business. Payroll, compliance, safety, taxes, hiring, firing, planning for labor needs, there's a lot of important aspects in it that need to be done.
If you're skipping on reporting your payroll taxes because it's "bureaucratic", you're gonna get the long arm of the law so far up your ass you taste it.
They will still have finance and accounting, legal is most likely outsourced. By HR most people assume the ones that answer employers for information and do all those retarded training exercises.
Honestly having a department run almost entirely by women telling us we need more women and that we are not allowed to make eye contact for more then 5 seconds or it may be considered sexual harassments may not be 100% need it.
I'm a firm proponent of HR being another branch of finance, not of the unions. They have a role, they do that role. Things outside the role, they do not. In a big org, tracking down timesheets for payroll is a full-time job, that job needs to exist, it makes sense to tie it in with payroll taxes, payroll distibution, and forecasting of additional labor hire/fire needs.
The postmodernist 4th-wavers have ruined HR much like they ruin everything they touch.
Mr Jackson believes employees should be empowered to find solutions to problems themselves, including ones such as a complaint of bullying that might be typically handled by an HR department.
Hilariously the only time I ever saw something I'd call bullying was from someone in an HR department. We were setting up PC hardware in HR and one of the department harridans decided she didn't like the IT guy setting up in the cube near hers and had him escorted from the building. Not fired, she couldn't do that, just kicked out. The hell of it is after he was escorted out of the area he was allowed right back in because... well, that's where his job was! He came back and finished while she was away from her desk.
None of the other HR workers tried to stop her and one of them even did the escorting. When I made a few enquiries I found out that everyone was terrified of the old crone and just complied with every crackpot order she made.
Seriously, though, I thought all of the lesbian dance theory majors were supposed to die penniless in gutters. Instead, they're running most of the fortune 500 from gatekeeping positions in HR. Meanwhile, people who actually work for a living have never been more fucked.
Honestly, fuck him for calling IT bureaucratic.
"Dad, the fridge broke."
"Did you open a support ticket?"
Isn't that basically what a 'Honey-do' list is?
That's not an admin, that's the office psychopath.
Just the usual BOFH type. Fun to read about, suicide-inducing to actually deal with.

This or outsourcing HR are the wave of the future. Businesses owners are starting to realize they are becoming more of a liability than an asset.

Based.
Holy security holes, batman!
No HR department?

They aren't just in HR; sometimes, they run IT for credit agencies.
