| Most of them who work in this field seem to be insufferable. Know it alls who sit on the fence when it comes to real life, They act like they are super important and like they have to control everything and are really patronising. Why are so many people in HR like this? |
| A lot of women in HR. |
| Explains it all PP |
| Wow, sounds like you had a bad experience. I've been working in law firms (or legal departments of non-law firms) for 20 years and have had GREAT hr people. |
| Yep. They suck. Also talk out of both sides of their faces and have no idea what does into running any of the units. They are basically there to CYA and act like they are in charge. |
| Never think they act unfairly either because they work in HR, they believe they are always right and fair no matter what. |
| HR is for people who could never hack it in a line or high-level staff position. They derive power from being gatekeepers regarding hiring decisions. The most obnoxious are "talent acquisition specialists". Who ever came up with that idiotic title? |
| This is a bizarre thread. |
1000% |
| Our HR person is hands down the biggest idiot in the company. |
No - that would be the person who hired the HR person. |
| Yeah, ones I know are know it alls and self righteous |
| Never forget these 2 facts: HR is inherently evil and they work for the company's interests, not yours. Catbert anyone? |

Sheesh, tough crowd...
