Are the Human Resources staff at your company idiots?

I work as a Human Resources Manager but have to admit that I am sick and tired of many of the people who work in my field. I have worked with- and for- many Human Resources people in my career and have never met such a group of dummies in my life. So many of them are just bureaucrats who have no training in the technical side of Human Resources and are corporte rejects who washed out of other departments. Or they are young pretty girls who seem to lack common sense but have nice personalities.

How are the Human Resources people at your company?

I work in hr too, I hear you. I find alot of people in the profession are self involved and power hungry or people that dont understand what hr is. Some even think they are there as social workers or social coordinators and that is so not it at all. Now I am working in a company that still operates as a personnel department and we are still the hiring and firing department. I am looking elsewhere at the moment and I know totally what you mean. Generally it can be a great career though

our HR are impossible to talk to.. I rather talk to the Secretary of HR you get more answers.. My HR gives you the run around.. I work night shift when I call with a relatively simple ?? why should it take a week to get the answer.. they have to ask everyone and their brother about it and "get back to you" isn't that their job to know this stuff?? sorry for the back lash!!!
