For you Evil Hr Lady, I am not sure if the stylings of The Lunachicks ever made it onto a mix – tape or playlist for you… so I would be remiss if I did not share my favorite (and on theme) song of theirs now. Keep it Real! Keep HR Punk.

Comment on Why This Startup CEO is Using Rage-Bait to Grow His Business by Mike T

Your reaction to this is rage baiting me. “You’re teaching folks they don’t have to do what their bosses say.” Newsflash. They don’t. It’s high time than these so called leaders realize they are not gods.

If a company fires someone for something like this (CEO should be fired ) as opposed to what they can do in their actual work then that company deserves whatever ill it gets.

And yes. I’ve been in HR for over 15 years. Most of that as a manager and prior to that I was an engineering manager for another 10 years.

This article emphasizes that you cannot imply by inference assumption that certain information is known as common knowledge–like the example given of what is business attire–which we know is very subject to a great deal of interpretation in today’s world of allowance of differences–but there always can be a guideline standard to have as a basis and that always should be in writing, so the company covers the fine line interpretation differences. Verbal discourse will not cover it, especially if the individuals claim the eventual “I don’t remember excuse”–having in in written form clarifies and eliminates the “confusion”

I certainly hope that specific word is not used for important written interchange because regardless of the employee’s insistence on spelling it their version—they have to follow the protocol in place for their place of employment. It is their choice to be employed and the employer pays their paycheck not the other way around. I hope that mother plans to support their child permanently and doesn’t complain about supporting their adult child forever

The solution is a simple one. Comply with the correct business protocol and stay employed or be an abrasive employee and risk losing your job. In this case mom does not know best.

Comment on Oracle Laid Off Thousands by Email—and That May Have Been the Right Call by Dinwar

Dinwar — Fri, 03 Apr 2026 12:32:14 +0000

Using “logistics” as an excuse to treat people as expendable is disgusting, cowardly, and demonstrates a total lack of empathy on the part of the executives and managers in this company. It may be the right call for the shareholders to treat humans like expendable machine components, but it IS NOT the right call for a company.

What companies–and, since you support this asinine move, you–have forgotten is that a business relationship, including employment, is a relationship. For the employee, this relationship is only surpassed in significance by their romantic partner, parents, and children. By ending these relationships in the most calloused manner possible Oracle has told ALL of their employees–and potential future employees–that Outlook expects this to be a one-sided relationship. They expect to take, and they cannot be bothered to treat their employees as humans.

Bear in mind that this is not in isolation. Companies are increasingly invading personal lives, expecting their employees to constantly be on-call. It’s so bad that countries are starting to make laws against it. And pay isn’t keeping up with inflation–meaning that the one thing companies DO give these days is worth less and less each time your “raise” fails to match inflation. How many of these teams were chronically under-staffed before they were terminated?

Let’s be clear: NO company would EVER treat machines this way–running them in the red, running them well beyond their recommended specs, ignoring basic maintenance, requiring the machine to do things it’s not designed to do. By this cowardly action Oracle has demonstrated that they value the people that work for them less than they value the chairs in the office.

Tell me again how “logistics” compensates for this.

Comment on Your Employees Want to Be Your Friend—Mostly Because It Helps Their Careers by Tim C.

A friend can borrow my car or money and I am not worried about when I get it back. I trust a friend to watch my children overnight. No one I work with fits that criteria. I get a laugh when employers state “We are like family here”. We even had Gallup surveys that asked us if we had a “best friend” at work. I believe this is some type of subliminal BS to guilt employees into something.

I really enjoyed reading this, especially the points about improving HR efficiency. It’s interesting how more businesses across Pakistan, including cities like Lahore, Karachi, and Islamabad, are moving toward digital HR systems to handle payroll and employee management. Adopting the right tools can genuinely make a big difference in accuracy, time-saving, and overall team productivity.

I was always criticized by coworkers for not extending my time working side by side into a friendship outside the workplace. I didn’t need to be their BFF in order to work with them as a teammate and I don’t see the logic in creating sides of who is part of the favorite group when we all have to work together for the same goal
