      I got an invite for a meeting the next morning. I was like "they wouldn't be that stupid, right?". Well, they were. I had time to prepare something funny but I was disarmed by their stupidity.

        Sorry, too busy. Why can’t my manager fill you in on my current projects?

          Haha I tried that one, because I was legitimately too swamped and management got very upset.

              Do they get special training on how to lie with a straight face?

                    I know a couple hr people personally, and they speak in a kind of coded manner at work. Some of them will legitimately try to help you out, but of course the nature of their profession means they can never be a true ally. Not for long, anyway.

                      When you get fired they need to re-assign your work to others so they want to know what you're working on.

                          In my previous company, at about 9PM, about half the company got an invite for a 9AM meeting, and the other half for a 10AM meeting, we saw all the name in our invite of course. Let's say the evening was hard, to guess which group was staying and which group was fired! I was in the "stay" group, this repeated every quarter and after 3 or 4 quarters it was my turn to be in the fire group, the next quarter they closed the company and fired the remaining employees.

                          The HR lady was like the picture.

                            I've been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I've also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we'd be professional about it. I've never been let go.

                              It is always tempting to try to justify one's position and get out of being laid-off/fired.

                              The decision has been made by those that "know your position", or your manager is being let go next.

                                  Where the fuck do y'all work that your HR "rep" looks like Anne Hathaway? Every company I worked for had a lady that looked like she retired after thirty years of proctoring detentions at a public highschool.

                                    I'm guessing this is about perceived performance issues, potential or realized. But I'm not sure at all. I've never dealt with something like this. Only a few places I've worked have even had a proper HR department.
