I work in corporate I.T and HR frequently tell us to delete user accounts only for us to then get calls from users who don't understand why their accounts are being deleted. This happens five or six times a year. I don't understand how they can think people are leaving when they're not. It's not even like they were on maternity leave or something, they are just plugging away, doing their jobs without issue, and then HR randomly decided they quit.

You have to be a special kind of moron to work in HR, a simple lack of intelligence just doesn't cut it, you need to be able to not only make a mountain out of a mole hill, but make a mountain out of completely flat terrain.

This has to be a huge company right? I can understand it at companies like Nike or whatever where HR functions basically turn into customer-support type roles where you're dealing with 100 tickets a day and there's no ownership beyond your tiny little cogwheel in the huge machine and there's no way to know all employees so they're just numbers to you. They basically got the number wrong. If it's a small or medium size company though they might be smooth brained.
