If the Companies didn't absolutely have to have them they wouldn't.
When they Changed the Office of Personnel, to, "Human Resources", you could tell then the company was separating itself from the Person with a Name, to a Resource with a Number.
None of the Big Companies deserve a dimes worth of Loyalty, because they damn sure don't have any for the people working there. The only ones I see that do good, is to Always have a Resume out looking for your next Job. You can usually get raises a lot faster as well.
In any event I feel sorry for the people in that department. You could see they were working at getting the Title off the ground, but didn't have enough time.
Thanks for your input as always. I hope no one on this site gets the knife, it ALWAYS SUCKS so bad.
Take Care,

I think you may be missing something here. Have you ever closed or sold a business? Do you know what happens if you tell your employees that you are closing or selling? They leave in droves, and some will even sabotage things. When my father announced he was selling his service station, several people quit that day, despite the fact that they had a shift to work. Over the next several weeks, several items mysteriously broke. Someone set the microwave on fire by nuking a half&half container until it caught fire. Someone, most likely the microwave culprit, set the toilet on fire as well. When their life is going to change, people frequently react in a violent way.
While I sympathize with the employees, I have to say I don't blame management at all for the way in which they shut things down.
