[VENTING]Time are tight but here at my work we waste $$$$$$ on idiots who do nothing other than take up space....

We had a guy who would fall asleep in the upright position at his desk. He didn't complete his job and we had to hire a consultant to basically do his job for him. it was 2 full years before we fired him......then he talked someone here into 5 months severnce somehow (the one thing he was good at was negotiating severnce pay)

We have an Human Resource lady who gets nearly nothing right. People now come to me and my payroll lady instead. Additionally she has been taking some online courses and sits at her desk and studies most of the day. She is older and set in her asshole ways...no hope!!!!

We also have a Temp (she does have a nice rack) that helps the HR lady...the Temp reads the newspaper, surfs and reads books....but in a few months we anticipate her having some real work??? WTF!!!! we spend $50k a year for the temp.

At the same time, I can't get approval for a wellness coach at $20k a year though.... [/VENTING]

 

we recently hired someone who sleeps in the upright position staring at his keyboard...and he rips up the bathroom.

 

we have people who are completely incompetent that we don't fire, but rather just give less and less responsibility to. i really don't understand it.... it drags down morale and costs the company substantial amounts of lost revenue. I have found that generally those folks have been around 10-15+ years, and like you mentioned are dead set in their idiotic ways... it doesn't help that I am in the IT field where the learning treadmill keeps a fairly high pace. perhaps middle/upper management just want to maintain status quo until retirement... which pretty much screws the rest of us not joining the aarp anytime in the near future. sorry for the long and likely disjointed rant, just got into the office. oh yeah, happy Friday!

 

Sounds like all of you work at large corporations with scared HR departments.

 

fire myself

 

this is exactly what we have.

Seems like the top guys just want to roll into retirement with as little stress as possible. we could get rid of the HR lady and her temp and hire a GREAT person for a good bit less $$$.... so we would have a capable person instead of two nearly useless folks.

Morale here is low here when people see the screw ups remain for years and years.

I act stupid and goof around but i get my job done and will research stuff if I don't know the answer. Our HR lady just blurts out any old answer and moves on...haha..

 

Anybody who replies to this thread while they are at work must answer "Yes" to your question.

So, Yes.

 

You need a Life Coach not a Wellness Coach.

 

 

I have one employee that works his ass off!

He also surfs the net all day at work.

It's good to be self employed.
