Heaven is My Hell is Other People

January 15, 2010

Mrs Guru had already retired to bed by the time her husband had finished reading Being and Nothingness as part of his 2010 promise to raise the intellectual bar, albeit slightly.

Sartre makes a few good points: être-en-soi or être-pour-soi, now that is the question. But then Yours Truly remembered, whatever happened to the HRD who started blogging last year with a Sartre related title? Quite entertaining as he recalled.

Guru fired up the old PC and there it was, tucked away in his favourites, a little gem of HR blogging, My Hell is Other People. Heaven!

"theHRD" writes honestly and intelligently and, Guru has to say, he makes far more sense than Sartre. In fact, theHRD is on peak form this week with his HR bollocks series of posts addressing "one bollock at a time":

'There are a million reasons to find the "HR Gurus" out there and shove a stone carved  Ulrich model up their arses.  At the top of the list has to be the idea of "Strategic HR Management".  I am sick and tired of hearing the word strategy combined with HR.  I am sick and tired of receiving CVs which start, "....is a strategic HR generalist...." '
This Guru will be happy merely to receive his stone-carved Ulrich model through the post.

About Guru

Guru is Personnel Today's notorious HR commentator. He's been working in HR for far too long and observes every passing management fad with a mixture of anger and amusement. His blog is the one thing saving his long-suffering wife, Mrs Guru, from having to endure too much of his ranting about the big HR stories of the day.
