Do you "Stand Out"? 34

[bridgebuster]

My employer (very large AE firm) has found a new way to waste money, an HR program called "Stand Out". You answer a bunch of questions and it tells you your personality type. Then every week you get an email to "Check In" to describe what you loved and loathed about the week, how much value you brought to the company, did you have the opportunity to use your skills, did your boss interact with you (he says good morning before barricading himself in his office in order to remain oblivious to what we do, what more can I ask?). I was wondering if anyone else is subjected to this madness?

They have a link to unsubscribe but it really doesn't work.

@TJWR- calendar days, if it were working days I think I'd go stark raving mad.

Good for you. I'm hoping I'm down to maybe ~1200-1300, but who knows for sure.

It's rather shocking to see it all lit up when they have very definite rules that you are never ever to discuss compensation with co-workers. If I walked away from my computer for 5 minutes anyone could fire up the browser, go to the site, it will remember my login and password and bingo there it is.

If you are in the US is it actually illegal for your employer to not allow open salary discussions. It remains a policy at many companies though because the less you chat w/each other about wages the less they can pay everyone.

The name change says all.
"Personnel" dealt with persons, now we are "Human resources" no different from oil, gas or coal

I've said more or less the same thing for years. Unfortunately "Human Resources" shows how utilitarianism has taken hold of society.
