“Institu-what?” -some HR asshole.

I’m amazed, time and time again, at just how incredibly stupid HR decisions can be. It’s like they have no idea what people do and how difficult how that shit is, and then each company has its own idiosyncrasies, in processes, in frameworks, engines, languages, etc. I’m not even in gaming, and I see it every day, with candidates being taken onboard against the teams’ advice, then being unable to do the most simple tasks in their jobs. It’s terrifying, really. It’s like HR have a vague sense that we do stuff with computers and we cost X per annum and that’s about as far as it goes in their little brains…
