'He got laid off. An hour into his first day': 10+ wild workplace stories as told by HR

We often talk about how HR is not your friend here on FAIL Blog. That being said, there are always good apples everywhere, and you know with certainty that some of these HR professionals have seen some wild stuff. It could be during the hiring process, when HR employees and hiring managers end up hearing some pretty ridiculous demands or inappropriate remarks from potential job candidates. It could be a crazy story from a boss or CEO, who has pretty backward standards when it comes to workplace behavior and practices. And, of course, it could be during the firing process, where HR professionals often find themselves having to clean up the mess of other folks.

In short, while it might be convenient to blame workplace problems on the human resources department, always consider looking more closely before placing any immediate blame because it very well may not be HR's fault at all. Keep scrolling below for this collection of horrendous HR stories. For more content like this, here is a compilation of stories where employees quit their jobs on the spot.
