Yours truly has developed an alergy against bull shit!! Those of you who have worked in Corporate America are well familiar with the role that HR (Human resources) department plays! They are always there to find problems they are never part of the solution. Masters of paper work and bureaucracy. I am sure you have heard of the expression “Think out of box“. These folks not only can not think out of box, they are “The Box“!!
For most part “Human resources” is a waste of company’s resources!! They only exist as an interface to the rest of bureaucratic world. You hear a lot form them saying: “No”, “Not”, “Can’t”, “Not able”, “Impossible”, “Not allowed” and pretty much everything else that implies negativity and obstruction. Following is one of my correspondences with one Queen of HR. One of those who has never solved a real problem in life so tend to fabricate stupid ones!I have disguised the identities but text is original.

Shari,
I rather you to respond to the email. I need documented material in case I need to talk to people in charge within the firm. I schedule a conference call separately. Please have in mind that I am interested to know things you can do not things you can not do. Day in and day out we are in the business of solving problems on a short notice. As such I don’t have much appreciation to hear about impossibilities and difficulties of getting the job done.
