This seem stupid to anybody else?

As they say, I was here before the building. It's true. I started the infrastructure of this company on one server sitting in my dad's sitting room/living room.

So why is it that every time our HR department hires a new person I have to provide some other form of proof that I'm eligible to be hired for the job I've been doing since 1999?

Around 2004 they wanted me to provide them with an "as it would exist in 1999" resume "for your file." I had copies, so I tossed them one.

Around 2007 they needed me to fill out an application "as you would have filled it out in 1999."

Around 2010 they had some "new hire" worksheet they needed me to fill out "as you would have filled it out in 1999."

Yesterday they bring me an "Eligibility to be Employed" form, and a request I provide my License, my Social Security card, and my birth certificate for them to photocopy to prove that I'm eligible to be hired for the job I've been doing since 1999.



Honestly, to me this is yet another sign that our HR department is a bloated and bored mess. Do other companies require this constant new hire processing on people after so many years? I can't imagine so unless it's a contracted year-by-year type job where you have to literally re-apply to keep it.

I'm convinced that HR and people who work in HR are the most incompetent, worthless souls walking earth.

I still cannot figure out why such a thing even exists. It's like each company had to form a group for all the fat bitches and vindictive twig dicks. I see no other reason.

One of my favorite sayings is, "you ever notice how people in HR are EXACTLY the type of people you wouldn't want having your personal information?"

Yeah, that sounds bureaucratically dumb, which is one of the most infuriating flavors of dumb.

they kept doing that shit to my dad until one year, they changed a requirement, and he didn't meet it in 1995, so they fired him in 2002

In my experience, HR departments are nothing more than make work projects.

[Dickarms]

HR departments are almost always worthless and stupid. and thats where all the attractive women work. go figure.

[sleewell]

everybody loves a good form to fill out

[Devin]

Wtf? Definitely stupid

[nightflameauto]

Been slacking on your TPR reports, NFA?

If you could go ahead and fill that out this Saturday, that'd be great.

GAWD DAMMIT MURDOCH!

And to the point above, one of the hottest women in the company works in HR. Not the hottest, but damn near.
