Finally, somebody told the truth about HR
In my earlier post, I had just given a fleeting mention of HR saying that only useless people would be doing teaching, whether it is in colleges or in the HR depts of various companies. Looks like many more people are sharing that view of mine......read about it at the below link

The article mentions that people who take HR as a specialization in MBA do it probably because they did not get meatier things like finance or marketing...It also mentions the case of people who do badly in the main work for which they are recruited in companies and hence are shunted to HR to prevent any further damage to the company due to their incompetence.
Frankly, I couldnt agree more.

Hey Red, been looking for a new post to come up.
Thanks for visiting my blog. I love your input.
Interesting.
I would tend to agree about how useless most HR departments are based on my past 12 years in technology. Usually full of feminazi bull dyke sorts of women with an axe to grind against decent men. However there are exceptions to the rule in smaller firms where the HR person does accounting and payroll besides HR type of work. These folks are the minority and work hard. Otherwise most HR and recruiters are useless airheads. Heck they could afford to outsource less and pay software engineers a lot more money if they cut the HR staff or eliminated HR completely and made a manager do real work!
