WTF is the purpose of any Human Resources Department :?


My professional (CIPD) HR contact might say that it is to try to prevent colleagues from actionable errors in management practices, and to try to dig them out of their holes when they still do. .. :wink:

It were called "Personnel" in my day lad.


That's a different department. Personnel existed to protect the employee. HR exists to protect the company.

Wouldn't want to mess with you of all people W-F:

It was the sign not the lorry driver that is senseless:

Bit like the " Well Driven? Phone xxxxxx" signs.

Pete, not everyone drives a mahussive Krautmobile/Volvo, people with poxy small cars also go too close to lorries.

An empty artic will have more braking action and slow down faster than a normal car.

I have to resist the urge to phone those numbers and say, "Yes, actually, they're driving rather well."

Moving a vintage aircraft into a hangar at 0.00001 mph and finding you've still managed to knock half a wing off. :D

With apologies to WaveFlyer - the full sequence shows the aircraft fully intact, and I look forward to seeing the full job on the TV.

I believe that "personnel" morphed into HR as a result of a rebranding exercise some time in the late 20th century. Adoption of an Americanism no doubt.
