How do ya'll like the new HR Rep? I think I will miss Toby and his mumbling. He reminds me of the red headed guy with the stapler in the movie Office Space, the way he talks.
I have to agree with Michael on this one. Anyone who works for a corpation know's what BS the HR groups are. Also all the stupid corporate policies are to make you feel like...well...another brick in the wall.
I'm only laying here with my eyes closed trying to get some goddamn sleep!

One of my colleagues (aged 27) lost her mom last year. Her mom died on the Saturday unexpectedly.
My colleague rang HR and said her mom had died and she needed time off. Their robotic response was this "You're allowed 3 days - one of which is for the funeral" My colleague said "...my mother has died, could you show some compassion?" "We aren't here to be compassionate - we're here to dictate policy" Not so much as a 'oh I'm sorry' etc. My colleague slammed the phone down.
Just to give you an idea of what it's like working for the government in England.

All in all, you're just another brick in the wall.
