The people who work in human resources are usually vilified by the general public. One gets the impression that they are hostile and unapproachable, as if they are only concerned with the organization and not the individual. Where, then, can the 980,000 people in the United States who work in human resources find a safe haven and a good laugh?
There are, of course, pages like Classic HR Memes among them. There is a statement in the bio of the account that describes it as a “safe space for HR folks to say what they’re really thinking.” And they have a lot of ideas, ranging from the challenges of hiring to the challenges of dealing with incompetent management to the implementation of training that is mandated by the state.
