Oh? HR

We had a financial/employment issue that should have happened 24th December but for one reason, and another, it didn't happen. Consequently, is was scheduled to be finalised next week, ready to go, nobody has to do anything else. That was until HR got involved.

This is not a legal issue. No one will be disadvantaged. No one will be worse off.

Brisbane HR took it upon themselves to take up the issue, even though, by their own admission, not one employee had questioned it, let alone complained.

"So, you haven't had any complaints from staff?"

"No."

"So, there isn't really a problem, then."

"There is a problem," was the reply. "This should have been finalised last year."

So, Brisbane HR were going to go and check with their employees, which, of course, would result in employees complaining, because HR would have gone to them for that specific result. They were determined to create a problem where no problem, actually, existed.

But, you know, if I have learned one thing with my interaction with HR they love to be right. They will go and create the problem, so they can appear to be fixing it and so often prove their point in the process.

Poor Boris would have been dealing with this today and tomorrow, all quite unnecessarily.
