I have been thinking about this issue and the so called friends in the dumping ground of HR college grads.
Are these people in HR really your friends? Or are they folks you know, passer by's in the walk of life? Did they know you shoot? Did/Do they know of the criteria of which back room HR functions? Do they really know who you are?
To me it does not sound like it. If they knew you would be flagged as a shooter with a very simple web search. Are they really your friends? In my world a true friend would never set you up for a gut punch,,,, never! If they had no idea you were a shooter to be honest. I would not refer to them as friend. They would fall under know your name, human simple network relations. Social Quaintness. A true friend would never lead me to failure! Never if they knew my hobby or life style would lead to failure within there wicked web of a pay check.
As a past hospital employee in maint. and plant operation's. I left the profession when I saw the ilk of college boy and lawyer ID and fundamentals take over. Joint Commission and the under layment of INS, recovery realistic. Not to mention the insane federal government intervention. And the most important person in the hospital that is ignored the most is the house keeper / (college boy term) Environmental Specialist. With out the low paid and no respect cleaner. No amount of medical skill and tech can keep you alive.
Sooo are these HR folks really your friends? Honestly I don't think they are. I have friends still yet in the medical settings. From clinical to hospital all over the country. My nick name is Psycho in this setting. Not because I was mean or out of control. Because I refused to let anything fail that was within my scope of employment. Failure was not a option.
I'm going to have surgery next month to repair two major hernias. I will be in the hospital for 3 days or so,,, maybe 5 depending. I have already contacted my friends in security, maint. and engineering. My surgeon and I know each other. I will carry my PF-9 into the admin area and then let security, secure my pistol and it will be returned to me with no and if or butts about it once I'm off the pain pumps and meds. Mean while my wife and three adult daughters will carry there S&W 60's as they see fit while I am in.
Are these HR folks really your friends? From what I see,,,,, they don't have your back and can not be trusted..... Burn me once I watch you slow boil.
