Just had a look at http://altvr.com/team http://altvr.com/team - that's how you feel about HR's role in a company? That's a pretty bad look.

- ro_bo 10y agoHi, so that’s my pic, yes. Let me share context. First, frankly, I do think that is how HR (in some cases rightly so, sadly) is often seen, but I wasn’t the source of the pic. The origin is, the pic was created as a joke by our head of Engineering to reflect the fact that the ceiling light above my desk never went off. I used to tease the team that it was the all-seeing Eye of Sauron. When he created that pic as a lark on a Friday afternoon, we all just found it really funny as it is so not who I am as an HR head (my half-pink hair is somewhat muted by the volcano glow around my head in the pic—I’m not one for false gravitas!) Yet I actually feel the responsibility of my role so deeply that it is a relief to sometimes have a good laugh at it/myself—that’s all this pic was intended to be. And laughing at oneself is something a Sauron wouldn’t ever be able to do. :-)
