re: So my wife is a big wig HR VP with a Fortune 500 Company ...

Half the people I work with own an AR.

She shared a couple more stories with me about someone I know who is one of the regular offenders. Problem is I also know her husband and I wish I could tell him ... but I dare not. It's just not my place. But you're right. It's epidemic in the field. And there are some smoke shows working in the field these days.

Funny because I used to work in a bank as a teller in college and not only was I the only man, but I was also the only white person. Off the wall drama is an understatement

Did the same and learned a valuable work life lesson there and where HR is ultimately going to side with

Big wig VP at F5 company needs to worry about money? Not sure if serious.

Never said that, but 95% of employees at fortune 500 companies are easily replaceable. My point is, in our current PC society, you better be able to find ways to make money in case you're fired.

White males : the big bad wolf.

Also, ever work in an office full of women? Women are more vile and conniving than men. Get too much estrogen in a room and the workplace is horrible. I've seen it happen as I watched another department full of alpha females tear each other apart. Sometimes its passive aggressive...sometimes it's a damn bloodbath.

This is so true, worked in an office full of ambitious women, it was miserable. So I left and eventually started my own business. ROFLMAO!

I'm so glad I work for a company that completely ignores this garbage. We even host hunting events and actively support conservative causes.

So you work for a hate group.
You company is probably already on a list..

I'm glad I'm at a small business that does blue collar work.

All I could think was "who wants to get a masters degree in HR?" The answer to that is, people who don't want to actually produce anything of value. These are people who want to sit in meetings and on conference calls talking about "important" trends in HR that don't mean anything. HR people don't lead the sheep, they are the sheep.

I disagree with this. It's a growth industry and pays well and once you get your masters you are highly sought-after and upwardly mobile. You're stereotyping to a degree although I agree, the field is headed in a bad direction if they continue to be dominated by SHRM.

Still yet, there are plenty of good gals in the field looking out for their people and some, like my wife, take it very personally when it comes to looking out for 40,000+ employees. She's settled many a dispute amicably.

The problem is with the younger gals coming up through the ranks. Things are changing fast and not for the better unfortunately. Especially when SHRM is pushing what they're pushing.

As far as value is concerned it's all relative. HR is a necessary evil these days because big companies are subject to all sorts of SJW issues these days and are forced to hire the best available candidate based upon skill, not necessarily on their ability to mesh well with existing employees.

This is especially true when it comes to big tech companies or those that rely heavily on big tech and IT in order to operate.

THAT'S where a lot of issues arise and IT is still a male dominated industry governed by a female dominated HR.

More and more female bean counters are starting to enter the workplace and the head-hunting industry is almost completely dominated by females these days. My wife gets calls every week wanting her to consider this or that for unbelievable sums of money. And she listens but money is not that important to us. I did very well and she's done very we so having to move to a big city like Pittsburgh or Dallas or Tampa or Seattle or L.A. or Atlanta is a no-go for us. We're happy where we are.

Now she almost took a job that would have her driving to Charlotte earlier in the year but I talked her out of it because of their history of turnover at that particular company .... which I was able to find out about through an old business associate of mine.

What needs to happen is for more young Conservatives and Moderates to enter the field and work their way up ... for balance's sake. And then fight back against the bullshite SHRM is preaching.

SHRM is the real problem in the industry right now.

BTW, HR, as it is taught and a relatively Conservative and renowned business school like we have at SC ... it's a good degree. We just need more good kids buying in and then resisting the SHRM mantra.
