Try and convince me that HR departments aren’t majority jobs programs for the less intellectually fortunate. It would be an uphill battle.

- franktankbank 1y agoYou:Me <-> Preacher:Choir I actually have much more negative thoughts than that, but I'm told we should assume they are stupid rather than malicious.
- jeffrallen 1y agoIf you don't think HR is malicious, you should read Company by Max Barry.
- franktankbank 1y agoI'm sure we are on the same team here but I try not to base my attitudes on works of fiction.
- johnnyanmac 1y agoMy main counterargument here is that many office jobs don't need "intellectual fortune". Society needs to be honest and know when you just need people for accountability's sake, for small and/or odd ends to meet, or to manage clerical tasks that pile up. And remember that humans who do a role for a whike get really good at it, if you don't fire them after a few months to make earnings calls look 1% better. Title inflation is a phenomenon spread far beyond tech.we shouldn't shame "learnable on the job work", but we don't need to pretend everyone is a VP either. HR in this case is there to allegedly help resolve problems with workers (reality: there to help prevent or alleviate the workload of lawyers). They have no business in recruiting past maybe a behavioral call.
