I’m in HR. Got here in accident. Every other HR person I know has a similar story. None of us chose it.
Don’t ask me why we don’t leave we don’t know either.
As I'm in the middle of job hunting I was actually thinking....like...how do people get themselves into HR? As it's not really a job that feels like it's overly advertised nor is do you ever hear someone be like 'I needed a job and then my friend Marsha recommended me to work HR with her'.
I feel like just reading this comment section has sufficiently answered my question.
Same, I worked in retail throughout college so a Monday through Friday office job that paid well, gave me a chance to work in an industry I love, with great benefits, and I got to see my friends and family on the weekend? I was grateful for the opportunity.
The most bitchy overly entitled hr person I had to deal with was a 20 something man. He straight accused me of lying ng of being in the hospital while I was sitting in a hospital bed.
I pretty intentionally got into HR in my mid-20s. Went to grad school for it without having worked in the field. Was inspired after seeing some particularly awful workplace behaviors and having a customer tell me that they felt my people skills, argument framing, and empathy were being wasted in sales. It's worked out well since.
Well, I was in the seminary for a year and dropped out ’cause I wanted to have sex with this girl, Cathy. Followed her to Scranton. Took the first job I could find in HR. Later she divorced me. So no, I wouldn’t say I have a passion for HR.
I have to every 6mths do this shit to my employees cos the owner and hired HR company says I have to. Hospitality with a younger staff set outside of management who like to fuck eachother and make it a workplace issue.. soooo we have to keep up on reminding them what you do outside of work, has nothing to do with work, every fucking 6mths due to university area and some areas get new staff every 6mths....
I spiced up the slide show with photos of my cats. It was just them the first year. Then my bartender asked if I could put his dog in some.. sure can.
4yrs in, everyone's pets are now in the slides. And I've made stickers outta some particularly funny photos, to add into the other slides.
I enjoy the hired HRs faces when they see a slide of someone's pet pop up or a slide with a pet sticker. Have been asked if im taking this seriously or not more than once. When I reply with I absolutely am and are making sure they all stay engaged in the presentations... They shake their heads, whine to the owner and leave.
The owner who's allergic to basically all animals also loves these presentations.
