    Cribbing is our birth right, and we will continue doing it and in that process we will eat the HRs from head to tail (assuming that new-age devils have tails like the old ones) ....and if these HR's are too bad(in taste) then maybe pass them through the shredder along with the VP finance....

    nice post

    When I started reading, I thought it was another HR bashing post and I was all (groan), not another one!
    But then it got better. And being an HR person - I THANK you for putting some perspective into the minds of these 'Young monsters... erm... managers..'.
    Oh - to work in China....

    But, you had to admit that HR people are MOSTLY frikkin STUPID. I think it's a process of natural selection than ensures that.

    Well said. HR guys are born with strait-jacketed brains. They simply cannot think beyond what they have learned at their colleges and institutes.

    HR is responsible for me today being one among the many educated unemployed, underpaid yet talented people in our country. Even so I don't hate HR guys. I;d like to keep one in my house - as a pet at the end of a leash.

    Dunno why but whenever I think of HR guys, I seem to think of buffaloes. The same expression. Possibly also the same way of working.

    Are you telling me HRs do not crib?? I think if you ask your friend if she thinks she could do her boss's job THEN you will know what cribbing is....I seriously think HRs are just like our politicians....the want everybody else to pay taxes (pay cut) while their pay hikes are passed unanimously! :D

    Although difficult to imagine yourself in such a situation, from the outside the HR policy of that Chinese company is quite hilarious. I mean, if you have to pay fines for talking back to your boss and might even be fired for doing it more than twice, it's fairly comical for an outsider.
