Last time I got laid off I got the email that I was being laid off three hours before my call with HR. Headquarters was on Eastern Time, so the layoff emails went out around 9am ET, but I was on a team that was mostly on Pacific Time so my call was after 9am PT. And I'm on Atlantic, so this was 10am and 1pm, and I was off that day. The clueless HR person offered me a moment to collect myself at the start of the call, as if I hadn't already had plenty of time for that. Just one big annoyance.

HR stories really show how incompetent HR people are.

It's almost like being completely disconnected from reality is a prerequisite for HR.

HR seems to be one of those jobs where it's great if you have education, but to land an entry level role, you don't need it necessarily. So you end up with a workforce who doesn't have critical thinking, problem solving, or advanced communication skills.

Professional bodies try to help fix it, but it seems it's not blocked off enough.
