The purpose of HR depts is to make employees think they are happy even when they really aren't. As far as HR is concerned, the purpose of mgmt is to make the HR dept's employees people think they are happy even when they really aren't so as to fulfill the first purpose. By this definition, no HR person, database or otherwise, will ever state his own view, nor should he be expected to. Sensible shareholders know and expect this.

So you have a couple of thousand new phantoms every year. If you want a binding answer, don't ask the HR dept, go see the big noise. From what you wrote, I'd say you have too much time on your hands. Received on Fri Mar 21 2008 - 05:06:56 CET
