What’s Your HR Tagline?
Posted on Friday, November 2, 2007 by Frank RocheI saw this clever post titled If Taglines Were Honest, which made me wonder: What’s your HR tagline? No, not that silly mission, vision, values junk. The real one.
Here are a few from the article:
Apple: You think you need it, we know you just want it.
Taco Bell: You’re drunk and we’re still open.
Southwest Airlines: On your marks, get set, find a seat!

Official and Honest: I’m OK. You’re OK. Let’s fix the system.
Unofficial and Honest: Insubordinate employee turned management consultant.

JT, that’s that a great one.
Michelle, Another good one, and LOL about the other. How true. You and I have the same tagline.

Unofficial but honest tagline: You make the mess, I’ll clean it up. (come to think of it, this would have been perfect for my previous career in tech support)
Very unofficial but more accurate tagline: You make the mess, I’ll clean it up, but honestly, there are limits – I mean, I can’t control the laws of space and time, and I can’t read your mind. If you don’t bother submitting your timesheet by the deadline, don’t get all bent out of shape if your paycheck isn’t correct. And what do you mean, why isn’t my new researcher getting paid? Did you even bother to tell me you hired someone? He’s been here HOW many weeks?
Sigh.

I have many taglines for my many moods. My favorite is a Napoleon Dynamite quote, “I wish you’d get out of my life and shut up”.

Perrik…isn’t that the bloody truth? Grow up, people.
