What does an HR person do?

Seriously?  What do HR people do 98% of the time when they don't have any "real" work.  As an HR person you stress at just a few times:

1. Just hired a new employee - what forms do they need to fill out?
2. It is end of the year - are all the tax forms sent to the accountant properly?
3. Just fired or had an employee leave voluntarilly - I have to do an exit interview.
4. Employee wants to know how many vacation/sick days they have used/have left - that took 5 minutes.  I'm going on break now.

Exit interviews.  Those are bridge burners waiting to happen.  You're leaving, what went wrong?

HR Lady: "Since you're leaving do you have any plans of working somewhere elese?"

Porshce: "Yep.  I got a job at XYZ company.  I got a sweet pay raise."

HR Lady: "So money was a factor in you leaving?"

Porsche: "Well money was one.  Bad management was another.  I never got anything interesting to do.  Oh.  And my boss was trying to sleep with me."

HRL: "Excuse me?"

Porsche: "Yeah.  Dave was always looking down my shirt.  He patted me on the ass a couple times.  He found every reason in the world to come into my office and talk to me; music, work, my boyfriend, living in Wisconsin, college,..."

HRL: "I find that hard to believe.  Why didn't you say anything during the sexual harrassment training?"

Porsche: "I liked the attention most times.  Plus Dave made it where other people had to do most of the work.  I could sit around on MySpace and play on iTunes.  But I'm really leaving because of the money."

HRL: "Do you want to file any complaints against Dave?  Should he be removed?"

Porsche: "Nah.  He's your problem now.  I don't want anything to do with it.  You have fun with it."

HRL: "... "
