If you want a unique insight into some of the weird and wonderful true stories that happened during a twenty year career in Human Resources it is. What strange things do people put on application forms? How do you tell someone that they smell? What funny things happen to HR Managers? What happens with personal relationships in the office? What sorts of thefts, fiddles and criminals did you come across? What strange disciplinaries have you dealt with? Does work and personal life ever collide? The world of employment is one of the few things in life that we all have in common and the way that people behave in this aspect of their lives never ceases to amaze. It is a glimpse into the strange and sometimes dark corners of HR and just when you think that you have seen it all, there is always someone, somewhere, who will do something to surprise you. Some stories are happy, some sad, some funny, some bad. Was it human resources or was it human remains? I like to think that it was both, and everything in between.
