Corporate HR is the problem, not the solution

This article should be required reading for all executives, HR is a disaster in most large organizations, and finally someone is exposing it.  Much of my early career was in small companies with no formal HR department and they did just fine without the "impersonal and bureaucratic experience of dealing with HR".

The HR "aptitude screening" process will select those who are superior liars, not the best match for the organization.  I could go into a real rant on the topic, but I'll instead just point out the article.  The practices of HR are abusive and counter productive in our society.  Corporations use HR to drive a race to the bottom for non-management employees.
