'Explain your accomplishments or risk being fired...'

I posted this on LinkedIn and I thought I'd share it here too.  Elon saying tell me 5 accomplishments that you did in the last week failure to do so is resignation.

"I saw this at the weekend. Guess what made me want to cry Sob

Yes, HR as the sender.

Whilst this Poop gets done in our name, to me it doesn't matter how much good we do elsewhere. This is the stuff employees say "remember when HR....."

HR already knows the value of the job you do as otherwise there wouldn't be a job for you to be in.

I hope all people can be see through this and know HR is rolling it's eyes as much as the next person. Rolling eyes"

  • When I saw this, I thought this is all about power and control. It happens on a smaller, local scale so often so I guess it lifts the lid on how any function, gets to be used as the conduit for ill advised initiatives like this. How many HR professionals or other professionals have been told to do things they fundamentally disagree with or think are unethical but can't complain or blow the whistle on them because they fear for their own jobs. I think it shows the delicate balance of power in organisations, how hard it is to speak up and how fragile the psychological contract is.

    Elon Musk and his team all over everything it seems, I wonder how much they are charging for that service and what the cost/ benefit analysis is for this 'efficiency' saving work. Strange times in the world, I wonder what is going to be the tipping point to stop it.
