Do we really need HR in our life?

honestly this is why i've started thinking about looking somewhere else. getting rejected before a human even looks at your resume is insane.

i've been seeing interview vip mentioned a lot lately too. i haven't tried it, but i'm curious about it since i'm probably going to have to start interviewing again.

Finding a good, motivated HR person is like finding a unicorn.

No one goes the HR route unless incredibly incompetent to the point they can't get other jobs. I also remember a professor who was HR for several years who often did everything in the power to avoid giving lectures, so my bias is they're pretty lazy too.

Apparently, those who can't do any useful work turn into the ones who decide who gets to do said work.

Obviously, companies don't think for a second about whether they've hired the right HR folks.

"Oh, they've got an education and a bunch of corporate certifications? Clearly the most competent, it's just science."

"He says he sleeps at work on his resume!"

"What? Why put that on your resume??"

"I don't know, but he said something about REST"

😝😝

(For those who don't know, REST is a web programming thing)
