    I got a survey from #OPM asking me as a supervisor about my experience with #HR in the hiring process, as if field supervisors have anything to do with hiring. It was a complete waste, because exactly zero questions were relevant to my job.

      I talked to both Kenny and S today. They both got the same survey. Where I was careful to emphasize how much was non-applicable to field supervisors, S emphasized how poorly the candidates sent by HR matched actual job requirements. Kenny emphasized how much $EMPLOYER emphasizes formal, official internal training programs rather than putting new employees with someone who can teach them to do the job, even if they can't sign it off in the person's training book.

        Overall, the message was that HR isn’t really helpful in getting qualified & quality employees into the positions where they should be.

        But of course, this survey was sent to thousands of people, including those “incompetent headquarters employees” that I occasionally mention. This means that they are likely going to get a pat on the back and “good job” ratings from most of them.
