HRs - the amazing people
I must say that interactions with HR people are one of the most important impressions about a company from an employee perspective. I have been continually impressed by the efficiency of the HR people I met at my company, but today was an example of what I call a tombstone of efficiency, the best one can expect out of a professional, courteous person.
I had to make a phone call to USCIS to inform them of my address change. It was a must to do in addition to the already sent AR-11 form, and it seemed to be a big PITA to me with my hearing problem. I desperately needed someone to help.
When I asked Freida about it, she agreed right away. It took a whole 30 minutes to finish the damn thing, with the voice menu system doing its blah blah for an eternity before some human being finally attended the call. Freida answered her questions on my behalf with professional accuracy and it made me feel right at home. I could not thank her enough.
Note to myself: If you find HR people to be good, the company is worth sticking to. Amen.
