Dear HR Manager....

....

I wish you would tell me more of "hows" than "whats"

I wish you knew my team well enough to help me with their development plan

I wish you were more transparent about the "salary - fixing" process

I wish you would provide feedback to all candidates within a reasonable time frame

I wish you wouldnt undertake another employee satisfaction survey without letting me know what the previous did.

I wish you wouldnt tell me "We have chosen to stay out of the salary race"

I wish you had less forms

I wish your screens had less mandatory fields

I wish you would stop scheduling trainings / meetings on month-ends

...and yes...I wish you and I would stop making wishlists and start talking!
