One of my colleagues has just invented a fantastic new terminology; "HR Red shift" it's used to indicate that your HR department is so backward and stuck in it's ways you can actually get a doppler shift rating off of it.

At least you've GOT an H.R. department. Ours has been sacked (presumably by themselves)!

I like that - a lot.

I suppose they could also be blue-shifted if they were so bleeding-edge in following every new HR fad in exisitence

St Bits IR (Inhuman Resource) Department are notorious for forever picking up on the latest trend from the Snake-Oil Salesmen Management Consultants, then spending near-infinite amounts of resource buggering about with implementing the new snake-oil and then dropping it and repeating the process as soon as the next fad comes along.

I don't think you'd find any other department being as cavalier with resource ;@)

That sounds all so painfully familiar; our HR dept seems to conjour up a new way to manage and organise us every six months or so. A huge fuss is kicked up about this, money is spent etc and then two weeks later it's forgotten.

And of course our trusty IT department would never do such a thing. One with who shall remain nameless but is not a million miles from this keyboard once placed the following in the Department Suggestion Box.

Please can we put the department Org Chart on a plasma projector so we can see it change in Real Time

Fantastic!!! heh.

Our IT department is officially 'MIS' everyone calls them MI5, you can't see them, they're never around - but if you try to do something you're not allowed to they're all over you.

"Determined" would be a better description. Live, learn and make sure you never screw up again.

Cheers for the nod.

Has anyone in the company really noticed any difference?

My company is cool; but some of it, well...
