Downward non-blogging spiral...

There is so much to say but so much to do.  One of the main issues for my non-blogging is that I have been busy at work and I have schoolwork piling up.  And the reason the schoolwork is piling up is because it is Human Resources Management this quarter.  And I cannot get excited about it at all...

HR Management is a function run for the benefit of the PC police, and usually has overblown contentions about its own effectiveness and how it can be a strategic partner to the business...It's all a load of tosh, and I have to pretend I agree with this bilge in order to effectively do any of the assignments, because the assignments presuppose the importance of HR.  Which means, I tend not to blog when I have pending schoolwork, and because I can't get the enthusiasm up to do the schoolwork, it still pends...

Sigh...

Just a note to say I still call round every day. No worries.

One thing about HR I find quite illuminating. Their most crucial function is the ongoing recruitment of talented people to keep the business healthy and vigorous.

So why do so many HR departments outsource that function to outside agencies?

Why don't they have the expertise in house? Why are businesses paying their own HR departments to issue contracts to other businesses, to do the HR work?

Thanks for your patronage, Monty.

HR almost becomes a vendor management function.
