re: HR jobs. What a cush, career.

You couldn’t pay me to deal with employee benefits and employee complaints all day. FUIUUUUCCCCCKKKKK THAT

I did it for 6 years, never again. Employees don't know how to solve VERY simple issues with other employees so they come to HR with everything. My first question would be, "How did the conversation go with John when you brought this issue up?" and I would just get a blank stare.

And the owner of the company had some crappy employee related ideas. I had to present them as great to the employees and not say a peep about how much I went to bat for them while they yelled at me.

There is a lot of bloat and I don't care the direction the dicipline has taken the last 10 years but it is a stressful job for someone who cares about the employees.

My SIL worked for a small company.. She was handed the HR position plus all her other work.. She wanted to shoot some of these pita people. She retired and still has stories about the stupid crap these people would come into her office and cry about. The "extra" money wasn't worth it.
