I don't even know where to begin. HR is full of snakes and they try to hire you for as little as possible while they pay the CEO over $100 million a year. They talk about cost containment and then send out company memos talking about how profits have gone up and how many millions they have saved. They saved that money on the backs of their employees, the ones who are down in the real world doing the work. You are expected to give up your life in order to meet deadlines.
