Had a user hook up a desktop tower to use in the office, he normally is a laptop user but wanted the power of a desktop. Told him where is was and asked if he want me to hook it up. About 15 minutes later he comes to me and says "I think the power supply fried out, I heard some popping and crackling", so I went to look at it. Took a picture of the socket to zoom to see if it was fried. Ended up being a fucking stick bug in the socket. Computer has been "de-bugged" and is back in action 🙄

I have mostly worked on the recruiting side of the company, so I can't really tell you much about the more operative side of hr, but there are many that hate hr for the wrong reasons.
We always get blamed for firing people, when in most cases the order comes from finance... We are just the executioner in many cases, not the judge, and we get hate for that

In recruiting you are usually well received by the candidates, if they like you you can work wonderfully with them, but the clients are the ones that are a nightmare to work with. They claim they need someone ASAP and then they don't fucking answer a call or mail for weeks... Guess who still takes the blame if the candidate decides that they do not want to wait and just gets something else? Yes, you are right, we do...

Working in a company that has a good hr strategy and people that are not in hr just to make a good salary can be quite fulfilling, I worked once as a trainee Ina. Bigger manufacturer and you could do so much good for the people. Many did screw around though...

He is always a difficult subject, because if you are too good people will take advantage of you and if you are too Stern you will get hate... Finding a golden equilibrium is very hard actually, like most things in life though.
Apparently there are people now that post their preferred pronouns after their names on LinkedIn... I'm so done with this clown world

I just wanted to know.

From my experience, HR are usually quite (hated/feared) by the rest of the company, but I guess it always does depend on the company.

Is it "That bad" from your experience?

@cowanon
No... I mean how is it possible to rise some concept to divinity in mind of these sheeps. As far as I know, there is nothing special about gays, yet they do worship them more then GOD himself. That is something I cannot comprehend.

Some shops like steam do accept a Paysafe card. I have no idea if it exists where you live, but you buy a code, and can then send the code to anyone to use it in online shops. The only two peoblems is that 1)You have to trust that the original owner won't use it before you. 2)You have to find a way to spend it, since it's a niche payment method.

@Kagekokoro
Well, filtering out the worst candidates just got 10 times eazier..

Do you work in HR btw?

@cowanon
Yep... Nothing is holy to these people except for a few "gay gods" walking among them. It really seems to be the same psychology underneeth, even though, I seriously don't understand how it got to that point.

But I guess, I will never understand that anyway.

@0x00
1) thanks for your kind words, but you seriously missed the point.

2) MAN!!! What job are you fucking doing??? You would have my compassion, if you weren't a fag about it.
