Re-opening Guru's HR laughter file (Guru)

Re-opening Guru's HR laughter file

Back in 2007, Guru successfully prised some jokes out of the HR community (More jokes for Guru’s HR laughter file).

Well, it’s time to try again. Obviously, this is not an enviable task, especially if the Daily Mail is to be believed (Death of the office joke: Coalition enacts Harriet’s PC equality law which means ANYONE can sue for ANYTHING that offends them), but Guru believes that in this blog land of intolerance and political incorrectness the office joke can be revived.

I’ll start you off with three rather ropey efforts Mrs Guru made up and links to some you may have heard already…

What do you call a busload of HR people going off a cliff? A good start.

How many HR professionals does it take to change a light bulb? Four: one to interview the outgoing light bulb; one to interview the incoming light bulb; one to draft a light-bulb-changing policy; and one to ask a man to change the light bulb.

What do an HR practitioner and Martin Shaw have in common? They’ve both played a professional.

Changed HR policies

Heaven and hell

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.

Guru

Guru, the notorious commentator from Personnel Today's back page, shares his wisdom on the world of work. Focusing on the latest news in human resources and people management, he takes an irreverent look at issues that affect us all.
