Unprecedented Times. Don’t you just want to vomit if you see those 2 words one more time. So overused (roll eyes). But doesn’t mean it’s not true.
It is Unprecedented-fucking-Times after all. Everybody has to stay resilient to survive. Everybody has to adapt to survive. Everybody has to work a little more harder to survive. Including HR all around the globe.
We had the first wave of lockdown – what do you mean we have to execute BCP now? Like you serious now, now? 100% evacuate the office and all WFH now?
Then followed by the storm of hiring freeze. Coupled with the hurricane of retrenchments and the flood of salary cuts.
Then the ever changing SOPs whether can go to work, cannot go to work, need letter or not to go to work? What? MITI letter with CIMS code? Need police report what? What?
And OMG we have a close contact employee?! A POSITIVE?! Oh dear! Employees first, must make sure they are alright. Contain the situation immediately!
Plus mental health issues are on the rise. Zoom Fatigue. Isolation. Anxiety. Stress. We have to perk the employees up! We have to engage, engage, engage!
Sounds dramatic? Well, if you are not in HR, you have no fucking idea how dramatic it could be in HR this fucking pandemic!
So today I want to pat myself on the shoulder to celebrate us in the HR world for doing what we do everyday to serve the community so it will be a better place to live.
