Slack Slacker's Opinions, Advice, Commentary & Comic Relief: Slack Slacker Says, HR Is Not Your Friend!

Welcome back, Slackers. As promised, I've got a post today to begin this journey together on the right foot. As a seasoned Slacker, starting out slacking in middle school, I've honed my skills throughout high school, college, and a series of hirings and firings in the front end of my career, that taught me lessons in avoiding the suspicions of coworkers, supervisors, company managers, and most of all, the HR department. Back in "the day,"old schoolers didn't have access to vital resources like YouTube to get a clue or two on how to evade a hard days' work and still get paid. Hence, the video posted below. Had I known Sh!t like this back then, I could've saved myself a lot of grief.

I know I'm getting ahead of myself, but I awoke this morning with a sense of urgency to tell you stuff you need to know right away. And believe me, a sense of urgency is something unnatural to slackers. So, here’s the deal: You might be staring at a termination letter tomorrow. And for those following current events, you might need legal advice for support and a remedy to this sudden and traumatic situation. Hell, this is advice for anybody working in America today, for slackers know why they’re getting canned. Slackers aren’t delusional; they understand when the jig is up. Experienced slackers just freshen up the resume and find the next guillible corporate recruiter to pitch it to, and "voila", a new desk to fall asleep on. It’s the sorry ass overacheiving go-getters who meet all management and company expectations, yet they still get the “AX” That’s why my moto has always been; Don’t be a Sucker, be a Slacker!

You need to realize, if you don’t already, according to The Bureau of Labor Statistics, the union membership rate—the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions—was 9.9 percent in 2024, little changed from the prior year, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions, at 14.3 million, also showed little movement over the year. In 1983, the first year comparable data were available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent, and there were 17.7 million union members. That said, the average American worker is on their own when the sh!t hits the fan in the workplace. And guess who’s tasked with talking employees out of starting a union in their workplace? You got it, chump, your friendly HR professionals.

Now, in all fairness, there are some HR professionals with strong characters and a high degree of integrity who'll do the right thing more often than not. But lets keep it real, it's a dog-eat-dog world in corporate America these days as well as in small to mid-sized workspaces. So if your ass wind up in the hot seat fire, don't be surprised when you notice HR pros eventually cave and look out for their own self-interest. And can you blame them? Yo, "It is what it is."
