Fast Track: Why we hate HR

Jay Cross put me onto this Fast Company article which caused huge waves in the US. Tighten your stomach muscles - he pulls no punches.

The guy attends a couple of HR conferences and confirmed his worst fears, that ‘HR people are, for most practical purposes, neither strategic nor leaders’. He berates HR for having the wrong people, the wrong goals and the wrong attitude and has a hard hitting conclusion,’most HR organizations have ghettoized themselves literally to the brink of obsolescence’.
