    More garbage from head office: we've just had a rebuke for not referring to staff as either "colleagues" or in the numbers sense as "headcount". I often wonder if this kind of thing is something our underemployed and overstaffed desk jockeys dream up to bolster their Linkedin achievements/lies section.

      Tim, it would seem not. Despite being on a supposed efficiency drive some staff are obviously underemployed enough to spend time coming up with nonsense like this! Maybe they think it makes them more efficient?! I suspect it spreads like a virus; one delusional individual in management comes up with it to appear fresh and original, then it spreads from company to company.

      Our HR is now 'Strategic HR'. That means they don't do HR, they leave that to the line managers. Got a problem employee, you have to deal with it yourself. So what do HR actually do then? Still waiting for an answer on that one.

      Sad, very sad. I once worked for a global plastics/ chemicals company that renamed/ combined/ rebranded about once a year it seemed. Every time, stationary and uniforms were wastefully ditched, and new, less workable computer systems foisted upon us, with attendant wasteful retraining. Meanwhile market share seemed to be lost to other, more stable concerns. I took the redundancy package and ran asap.
