Depends, will that HR lady be there too 👀

I’ll have to try their software. HR Block seems to make mistakes. Thanks!

How hard is it to import to Tax Act from another software ? I typically use HR Block

Ask your company HR beforehand or check the tax cost after you sell.

Successful-Gene2572

>What the hell did they need 1,250 employees for? They don't even do any of the actual work. Are they all app developers? Marketing, customer support, strategy, operations, HR, recruiting, diversity and inclusion, legal, etc.

LegitimateGift1792

Sally in accounting and Jenny in HR are already screwed. The company is AON who bought their competitor Hewitt. Yeah, back office is gone man.

Strange-Scarcity

The thing about tech companies? They ALWAYS hire everyone they possibly can. For a couple of reasons. 1. It's kind of easy to take a neat idea, code it up with a handful of people in a house or split across several private residences, fire up AWS and kick off a brand new company, gain revenue and THEN move into office space. But that is still risky to the new business person. (this is partly to cut down on potential competition.) 2. Because they don't want to miss out on talent. 3. Per others talking about this? HR managers of tech companies aren't worried, this is a normal cycle, most of those people let go are already working elsewhere or are already spinning out their own businesses, based upon the large nest egg they build up working for stupidly high volumes of money.

Strange-Scarcity

You fit right in here. No, it's literally "These five guys called up for an interview, then never bothered showing up. One of them did call and said that their boss offered them more money to stay with them though..." This is what comes directly out of the mouth of the HR Director that I have regular meetings with.

FarLog4503

Elon Musk has fired so many Twitter workers by mistake that HR created an 'accidental termination' category to re-onboard employees

professorjaytee

Stock prices for publicly traded companies are largely dependent on how efficiently the HR department and executives take advantage of, abuse and deprive its employees. When they are too nice to their people, or (heaven forbid!) pay a decent living wage with benefits, the stockholders will always react negatively.

As someone who got forced into United Healthcare through work: fuck UHC I "upgraded" my plan in October during our renewal. Went to the pharmacy a month later & found out they denied my prescription Called UHC, they told me I had no insurance & hung up. Called my HR & she told me ~"yeeeah we've been having issues with them" (thanks for the heads up HR!) Tried to call UHC back & their call center was closed Called a diff ph#, the one where you can buy their insurance, oh they were still open alright. Customer service is just for people who haven't given them any money yet Its now almost December & I still don't officially have insurance. I'm already out $500 on my prescription, expecting to be out another $500 next month - just in time for Christmas! :D So yeah, fuck those guys. (obviously this means you should buy calls)

SpicyLatinaCumfarts

imagine being voluntarily cucked by compliance/HR losers instead of doing whatever you want on your own time because you rightfully value your passion more highly than your fungible day job

nailattack

That’s not a double top. The topping tail of the first top has been tested with the second top and we’ve closed above the zone on both the 1HR and 4HR. Even if you were looking at that as a double top, we haven’t even tested the neckline yet so there’s no confirmation to be bearish.

Just got an email from HR asking why I googled "duck penis". THANKS

unikuenobody

Why the HR lady always gotta have the fattest ass?

deevee12

This is HR, we’ve been getting complaints that you’re sabotaging other people’s work. Can you explain?

DangerStranger138

... are we talking about the opposite sex cuz I don't wanna go to HR again when I'm still in between jobs

mrbiscuits_23

I cannot possibly lose more money than I have in the last 2 weeks. This is my play now. Gonna hit a HR or strikeout that’s it

PatrickSebast

That's literally what I tried to do and she went to HR to have it fixed instead 🤷‍♂️

DomighedduArrossi

Yes, I concur on your timeline prediction. This is good time to land a job with CVX, hopefully HR calls soon 🤞🏼

PatrickSebast

One of my employees keeps bothering me about some of her vacation not being deducted properly from her time off balance earlier in the year. She thinks she has two more days than she is supposed to left because of a glitch that occurred when trying to move her vacation around. I have told her multiple times that I don't care to fix it and she is salaried so she gets paid the same regardless but now she is trying to have HR fix it and take away her vacation time to be fair or something. I don't even know if she is actually right about this.

Kickboy21

I have to be at work by 8 tomorrow because the dumbass HR person scheduled the new applicant interview at 8AM on a monday.

Chilledlemming

EPS- Earnings Per Share, my bro. Not the arbitrary stock price. There is much that a company can due to push, pull from different quarters. Tweak approaches to impact EPS. I work in HR - Executive Compensation (including C-Suite) and hear these Accounting discussions all the time.

anubus72

a few tech companies lay off a few thousand workers each (tiny fractions of their workforce) and mostly lay off marketing, sales, HR, but yeah, definitely dude. Fuck those tech bros!

dallasmcfly

These companies are criminal. They nickel and dime for literally everything, and can’t afford to protect their customers’ data? Want a copy of a previous filing? $9. They lobby against simpler taxes so they can justify their existence; HR Block alone spent $3.4m on lobbying in 2021. Garbage bureaucracy companies that should not be allowed to decide our tax code, let alone be custodians of tax information.

Complex_Day_8437

457b accounts are a benefit because it allows you to defer compensation (pre-tax) and lower your yearly taxes. Another benefit compared to a 401k is that you can withdraw without penalty when you leave that employer, no age requirement. The biggest problem is they are maintained by crappy financial institutions, typically high expenses, and very few investment options. I’ve attempt to move mine to Schwab who will maintain them, however contracts are already in place and can’t be done (per my HR department) It is very frustrating.

SimonReach

It pisses me off that all the newspapers and media are only talking about and calling out Sam Bankman Fried, it wasn’t one man that did it all but a systematic fraud and corruption amongst all the controlling people at the top it appears. Some of the reports are stating even the head of HR was selected so they’d be loyal to the top people to ensure anyone saying the wrong thing is immediately gotten rid of. It’s all speculation though but hopefully people go to jail.

LostSomeDreams

Every day at work I have the adrenaline rush of trying to outlast yet another head of HR

Moist_Lunch_5075

Keep trying to confirm, but no one's picking up at their HR desk.

Thereisnopurpose12

HR can all be laid off

brooklyndavs

Not only the Disney content but Pixar, Star Wars, Marvel, some Fox shit, ESPN and ABC. And of course all the parks and cruises, Cable channels. Hell even Bluey! They are like a juiced Berry Bonds yet they aren’t breaking HR records?

TopStockJock

It’s happening now. So many tech workers and HR people laid off it’s insane

Sweet, that'll look sick on my work desk. Colleagues will surely be impressed. I bet even HR will want to see it.

swiss_courvoisier

HR here.... can confirm. 👍🏽

LeMickyZeroRings

Is your company profitable? I guess if you're a startup who is lagging in sales. At most established companies sales is the last to go because they have demonstrative revenue. HR is one of the first.

QuestionIndividual67

Hasn’t been my experience as recruiting is typically a skeleton crew. Always sales, support, marketing, and middle management Never HR no matter how overbloated that dpt is.

SentineL-EX

I lost the chart but most of the layoffs have been in supplemental departments like recruiting and HR, with software development and sales being least affected (40-50% vs 10% laid off, respectively) Bet accordingly

Cyberhwk

You'd have to ask your HR department directly, but I would assume the answer would be no. I would double check this advice, but one thing you could do is keep your Renesant Bank account open (with a balance >$1,000 to avoid that nasty $7.50 fee) for your employer's contributions then just contribute your own funds to an HSA through another bank. You would have to be very careful with this arrangement though as it would be easy to over-contribute.

Sandvicheater

Tech company Layoffs are mostly non tech jobs like HR, management, etc. and the under performing programmers. there's no way in hell big tech boys are gonna let their superstar tech boys jump ship to a competitor. Though this is a tall tale lesson in not signing up for big tech companies as a non-tech role cause your ass is the first to be laid off at the first sign of trouble.

Flaky_Bee_2599

Is this the HP hardware division? I used to live in Boise. HP was known as a horrible place to work and somewhere that was never doing well as a business. Working there was basically a layoff waiting to happen and everyone with a good skillset left a decade ago at this point. Also according to former employees they violated the EEOC by telling interviewers to only recommend underrepresented minority candidates for hire to HR.

JuanBARco

Yeah... gonna disagree with your assessment of jobs. I mainly know the tech industry and they have pretty much halted hiring. Many people i know in recruiting and HR believe they are likely to be laid off, my company (a very large corporation) is currently offer compensation packages to people that want to retire. If not enough people leave, people will start getting dropped. From what I have seen companies are preparing for a recession. They are looking to run lean, cut bloat in managment and HR try an start employing people that directly generate profitm Most middle managment and HR people are in danger from people I have spoken too. Most actual workers arent being let go, but many are leaving to different jobs or re-evaluating what they want to do. The job market looks good, but the reality is there arent many GOOD jobs available. It is mostly bottom tiers of companies looking for workers. This is all from the people I interact with daily in Silicon Valley. I think tech is definitely going to continue to drop and that will.drag everything else down too.

kakamannaa

thanks for the tip deadhuman, will talk to HR tomorrow and will update you as soon as I have something to share 🤪

antillie

If you have access to insider information, and give that info to your spouse/brother/cousin/child and they trade based on that info, you both go to jail. The policy extends to family members because the law extends to literally everyone you speak to/interact with. Ask your HR and/or legal department about it. I work for a publicly traded company that has nothing to do with the finance industry and there are strict rules about trading in company stock that apply to me as well as anyone else living in my house. As long as I trade in index funds or stocks in other companies I can do whatever I want, but shares in the company I work for are radioactive so to speak in that I must be super careful how I handle them. My solution is to stick to broad market index funds and not worry about it.

Meet_James_Ensor

HR should know who runs the 401k

diamond__hands

call their HR departments.

LoverOfWhaless

My boss thinks I’m hot and we don’t have an HR department. Time to party like it’s 1989.

deadhuman01

if you are smart but getting paid less that actually also saying you lack negotiation skills or you are just not confident enough to ask for what you deserve. so I guess instead of whinning and complaining in reddit subs its time for you to do the HR talk ;). Good luck!

RAGE_CAKES

You got to call HR to set things up. Ask for Sherill

recklesslyvertical

Gets edited because it breaks the HR guidelines for well you know.

RoutineAspect8116

Those are two separate issues. I'll address the retirement one first: When someone retires, they're no longer part of the workforce because they're not looking for work. They aren't unemployed either, for the same reason. This shrinks the workforce, and yes, it will also impact the participation because a smaller percentage of people in the workforce are actively working. I'm not saying that people aren't able to find jobs, either. If someone is employed, and not planning to leave their job anytime soon, but then something happens and they lose their job, they're not going to find a job and start working the next day. It takes time. The 40 people from my example above would be in the process of looking for a new job, and may be getting unemployment benefits while they look...which is probably how the government knows they're unemployed. They still have to find companies that are hiring, apply, and wait for a response, interview, HR paperwork, background checks, etc, etc, etc. Not to mention that some companies freeze their hirings for the 4th quarter, so even if they had been about to get an offer at the end of September, they may have to wait until January to get hired. Then you have the slackers that figured out a way to get paid to sit on their couch and watch paint dry. They're not unemployed because they're not looking for work, which means they're also not considered to be part of the workforce.

_hiddenscout

Totally, depends on the industry as well, but usually a ton of companies don't like to deploy due to risk. I'm in the HR space, so tax season is like our biggest thing. Just in general, people take PTO and I've work at places before where they just gave us the last two weeks of the year off, because it was cheaper to close the office than pay people to be there lol.

fr0d0bagg1ns

Nah, it'll be the new CTO or someone similar. Elon is definitely dabbling with eugenics, and he wants an army of little smart Elons. We know Elon ain't a fan of HR...

bluewing

You don't need HR if you fire everyone else, (or they all quit).

GMenNJ

Or you can get a job in HR and still get payed way above average for the position but without the hard work needed in engineering or finance

tiesioginis

Who is it gonna be? Maybe Twitter HR manager?

Accomplished-Gear527

Do you know this from personal experience (i.e., you worked in HR or were a hiring manager and knew the salaries of the team) or did you hear this?

Drilling4Oil

yep they're just boomers who cut their teeth doing entry level stuff decades ago back when you could smoke on the job, most office workers would drink on lunch break w/o fear of some HR lady opening a case against them, and micromanaging wasn't a thing.

Amber_Rift

Add Elon to Googles HR department. He'll slim that down!

my_trout_is_killgore

Their HR department is prolly the biggest department. Useless people tend to bloat

DashTrash4life

Le pew is an HR nightmare

mcs5280

How can I train a squirrel to brush my badge against the badge reader every morning so I can keep working from home? Apparently HR is tracking how many times people badge in

WaffleMints

Just checked. 128 over 76. HR is a little up because I just took a huge shit and had to push hard for awhile.

BoomerImpairedShtSux

My experience is opposite. Its always the middle aged HR lady with hot flashes and wears sweaters that puts the temperature down to 65 year round.

AbjectDisaster

I feel pretty safe from the perspective that I've got a ton of contract department experience and also add in a lot of HR competencies with an employment and labor background. Truth be told, like any start up, you start to hope that the job moves towards M&A and you wind up unemployed for the best reasons. I think the upshot to attorneys is that we tend to be able to avoid recessions so long as you practice evergreen law (people will always get divorced) or deep pocket law (insurance, employment in a down economy).

NotInsane_Yet

Back to the days when getting Zucked was just a problem for HR.

tigerkingsam

Bro do you work in tech? Because I do, each job role has different access to what they can do. You don’t give Admin role to a Content Moderator, HR or marketing. Their role is to only take down posts and little of anything else.

dabears---318

I totally get it, my point is that HR is a “luxury” in that it used to be part of a managers responsibilities and could be covered. try that for finance, supply chain, sales, IT etc and you’re sure to end in ruin. I’ll add marketing and PR to the luxury list as well

dabears---318

HR is the one department in any company that could disappear tomorrow and the business would still manage to function.

Grudens_Emails

I will say this, in regard to Twitter layoffs,. I was talking to the COO of a large tech company and they are watching this to see how it pans out, as there is a feeling the tech industry is completely bloated with staff and also mid to low level people who are over paid. I'll also said they have already notified HR they will not be hiring anyone fired from twitter as of now so auto filter their resumes out from open positions, this is due to how the employees have reacted to Elon being their boss I think some of the people who post here likely fall into that category and are somewhat nervous that it just might work for him. but I am just guy on the internet and who would ever lie on the internet, so believe of this what you will

whyyoudidit

can you tell me which software this is? I work in HR and do payroll for a 40 billion dollar company whith 30k employees. If I can get the whole HR and payroll departments in 50 countries fired because of this software I am pretty sure they will make me the CEO before coming monday morning.

Fit-Suit-3782

Not even thirty yet? Invest in yourself. Take up cooking as a hobby and use that as a way to both save money on eating out and also improve your social life at a discount by cooking good as5 food for friends. Contribute to a 401k through your work if you have that option, especially if they match contributions (ask HR, it's very common). Otherwise just put a little of what you can spare in an index based ETF and let it ride for the long term(e.g. IVV, VOO, DIA) There are many options, some better than others.

cheatonstatistics

Hard to measure quantitatively. People are not numbers, if he pissed of enough key persons, team dynamics are disrupted and whole teams can be lost. The whole shit show is definitely an apocalyptic scenario for any HR department in terms of productivity.

Sean_VasDeferens

A Tesla HR director was recently quoted as saying " Tesla is Elon, Elon is Tesla." What would happen to the share price if we wake up tomorrow to the news that Elon was found dead from some weird ass way to die that nobody had ever imagined possible? It would not shock me to read "Elon found dead in hot tub with trans-robot monkey and a donkey with neural implants". I wouldn't be able to sleep at night owning a stock so closely tied to the well being of a single individual.

Patient284748

When I left my company a rep from the pension plan gave me instructions to rollover the pension in a lump sum to my own rollover IRA. It’s still a retirement account and the funds aren’t taxed yet. Try to contact the pension plan, not HR. It may also be the case that there is a time limit to act, or the funds may be stuck in the pension forever and you will just have to wait to retire to get the distribution.

DefinitelyNotAliens

Youtube. 19.98B with ~2000 employees. Twitter was bloated but when you hack and slash jobs and threaten to overwork everyone and kill morale you lower per person produces and send employees running for the hills and suddenly nobody knows how to run a coffeemaker, let alone debug, update, patch for the newest Android or iOS update, make payroll, run HR or what vendors refill the candy machines.

DefinitelyNotAliens

Hence 'allegedly', since unconfirmed. I know they had building access restrictions, have no more PR, legal or moderation teams left. Wouldn't shock me if their entire payroll/ HR teams jumped ship. What - 10-15 people? With their mass exodus wouldn't be surprised if they also lost their security teams, too. Thus, plausible grains of truth and 'allegedly'. But the numbers is still real, real bad. Threatens to tank TSLA and being CEO he might be facing lawsuits for going over his allowable limit for stock leverages and tanking his TSLA stock as he tied up Tesla in a doomed bid for an already failing company.

Asexual_Reb0rn

HR and Payroll are known money pits, and there are fairly simple software suites that basically replace both departments for whole companies nowadays.

DefinitelyNotAliens

Twitter was absolutely bloated on labor, but it needed a surgeon, not a bomb dropped. They fired across the board in all departments. They fired people based on how many lines of code they wrote and not nuances because an engineer writing six lines per month working on debugging and removing unnecessary legacy code to streamline the system is more integral than the guy who wrote 700 lines in one year while adding a feature that shows confetti on your timeline when you log in on your birthday, which was never implemented. They basically don't have PR, HR, building security or payroll right now. They slashed basically the entire moderation team. It's a cluster.

Kind-Benefit5101

Spilled tea on my mousepad while watching news about HR firms laying off Tanya and Michelle at rates similar to Elon laying off Twitter Staff. 🤔 Bullish?

Mindless-Olive-7452

I don't think the HR department is what everyone's laughing worried about.

MasterpieceLive9604

My company's HR team will probably consist of ex-Twitter employees by that point, so perhaps steel sharpens steel?

origami_asshole

preemptive strike, report her to HR

Routine-Doughnut-431

HR and Payroll can be outsourced and right sized. Time will tell that Twitter was bloated on labor.

kilroy123

The company I work at did a cringy in persona all hands. I got absolutely shit-faced and made an ass out of myself. Started chatting up the HR lady, "chief of staff" and she was obviously feeling me. Ended up in her room and fooled around a bit before she passed out. Puts on my job?

always_plan_in_advan

If you think getting rid of core infrastructure is efficiency, I think you may need to re-name efficiency. At this point Twitter is being run by those who are here on visa, there is nothing stopping them from actively looking for a new position which they will take the second they get offers. Also, gutting HR and Payroll, doesn’t matter what engineers build if they won’t know who to go to for not getting paid
