Genuine question. I’m in a field with extreme turnover. Average career span is probably a year at most. So we all cycle through the same companies time and time again. It’s to the point I know the HR people, follow the district managers and Regional managers. So whenever I need a job I shoot a few texts and I have a job in a few days.

So why in the miserable fuck is onboarding so tough. I got fired back in the beginning of November, drove from my job to meet the DM for another company and was offered on the spot. Whole process was 60 minutes (including a 20 minute drive) I didn’t start till mid December. Again the other day, I was cut from staff due to some internal reshuffling. No sweat, called another DM and had an offer in about two days. I’m now sitting here 10 days later waiting for an email with my formal offer because HR can’t figure out how to send it to the right email.

Ive worked for all these companies before, I have the same phone and email, same social security number. There should just be a big red rehire button. I swear HR is the most inefficient, ineffectual group of people on the planet. Nurse practitioners and HR people are the two groups that are 99 percent awful and that 1 percent of the time lifesavers.
