HR seems to be one of those jobs where it's great if you have education, but to land an entry level role, you don't need it necessarily. So you end up with a workforce who doesn't have critical thinking, problem solving, or advanced communication skills.

Professional bodies try to help fix it, but it seems it's not blocked off enough.

Hey sp3ctr4l, Please sit down. I have some difficult news to share. Unfortunately the company has decided to end your employment effective today. You will get your record of employment by email and enclosed is your package. Please sign and return as soon as possible.

Security will escort you out.

Bye.

The irony is how much money they lost over their practice, a good employee, and the cost (time, resources) of having to replace you.

HR gets the blame, but it may be the managers in charge running things like that.

Hello sp3ctr4l,

We do not appreciate your tone as it doesn't fit in our culture of respecting and hailing to corporate.

We will be writing you up for insubordination, violating our respect in the work place policy, and poor performance.

Here is your improvement action report.

Regards,
