I work in corporate America. I will never side with HR

Fuck HR. They could all be working from home.

Offices are mostly a relic of the past, taking up livable space so that management can micromanage employees and justify their phoney-baloney jobs.

HR at the horrible mega Corp I work for has been described as "day care". They all seem to move at a glacial speed, which when you're dealing with time sensitive tasks I'd say is incompetence.

The few I've talked to are nice, in a polite small talk way, but it just shouldn't take a whole month to go from application to phone screen. Certainly not for internal candidates.
