As I go through the “new hire process” at work, I keep thinking more and more that this is how a pig must feel going through the “sausage making process”. I’ve gotten emails from four different people telling me I have to fill out forms “immediately” or face dire consequences.
I’ve asked each of these people if they could perhaps just provide me with a packet of all the forms so I could sit down with them some evening or weekend in a bar and fill them out all at once, but no, everything is online now, which makes things Oh So Much easier.
Except that none of the emails telling me I have to fill out a form even includes a URL.
I think I liked it better when “Human Resources” was called “personnel” and forms were something that got jammed in filing cabinets. This “process” is rapidly turning me into a luddite.
