Okay, is it weird that the one person in my entire company that makes everyone feel awkward is the head of HR?
Is that normal?
Shouldn't it be the other way around?
I was talking to 2 co-workers today, and we all felt like the head of HR was a maniac. She makes everyone who walks into her office feel uncomfortable. Not in a sexual harassment way, but in another way, like she is SUPER defensive.
Just wondering if anyone else has this problem.
Yes! I have noticed this too. HR people are the least approachable/have the worst people skills.
Please use the correct terminology. They are "HR drones," not "HR people." It's the same phenomenon as the dumbest people in college majoring in education.
I couldn't agree more. I manage a paper supply company's regional office, and it never ceases to amaze me how our HR guy, Toby, always brings the office down. Also, is it just me or do temps working their way through business school really brighten up your day?
The best response is to be completely unaffected by it. As if you don't even notice it. The more defensive they get, the more dense and calm you are.
Drives the f***ers crazy
I agree with Michael. As Assistant Regional Manager I deal with HR every day. Sometimes I just want to use my karate skills on Toby to get him in line.
Assistant TO THE Regional Manager.
Assistant TO the Regional Manager.
Are you guys really making Office jokes over and over again?
I cannot think of anything as lame as you f**king morons.
i can!
