Easy to blame it all on HR. I've witnessed many engineers draft reqs that included all kinds of unnecessary "musts".
- tomrod 8y agoHR is the cause of this issue, either the ossified silo, or the general company policy to HR, which results in too big of asks for too low of wage from folks that have to use that policy.
- hopler 8y agoIt's tautological to say that bad HR policies are the cause of bad HR policies.
- tomrod 8y agoRight. HR professionals (and the c-suite) are the cause of bad HR policies. Bad HR policies perpetuate bad HR policies after that.
- solipsism 8y agoYou can keep saying this but it's just not true. In the number of companies in which I've been involved, engineering managers are solely responsible for writing the reqs. HR is just an easy scapegoat. I'm sure that often HR is primarily responsible, but often HR just works with what they're given.
- tomrod 8y agoTell me about the approval process, training, and underlying incentives the engineering managers have to go through to get their requisition approved and posted. A priori, I'm confident it is a bad HR process.
