I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

      HR only contributes to the good of the business, which is owned by the capitalist class. It’s a class war, and HR is not on the side of the working class. Which makes HR employees—witting or not—class traitors, something they have in common with cops.

        Since when are HR working class?

        And you don’t even need to bring class into it, their role is the same even when the employees aren’t working class either.

          HR employees must sell their labor for wages to survive, because they don’t own the means of production; therefore they are working class. The capitalist class makes money by owning the means of production, and exploiting the labor of the working class.

      Somewhat agree. The good ones you’d never know exist until you need help. They are a god send. Fuck the rest of them

      Company stooges seems a more appropriate department title than human resources, also who the fuck wants to be called a resource I’m a human being not a number.
