Without exception, they've had their heads up their asses. They have given definition to the words "bureaucratic" and "unresponsive." I don't have space here to describe how the processing of my retirement application was mishandled, but it's enough to say that if I hadn't taken a proactive stance I'd either still be working or receiving much less of the annuity due me.<BR/><BR/>Partner works for an HR company, the words "personnel services" is actually part of its title. Their treatment of employees could make a textbook of what not to do.<BR/><BR/>I come away wondering, at least in these two instances, why, if employees are in some cases lucky enough to thrive, it's in spite of HR treatment rather than because of it.Ralphhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10007305231270037503noreply@blogger.com
