Given that a huge % of the Blawg’s visitors are HR professionals, we thought it was high time that we asked a question specifically directed at you.  We thought it might be fun/enlightening to ask:

How satisfied are you with HR as a career choice?

I’m happy to report that the majority of you (55%) feel happy, with 18% of you delighted and 4% downright giddy to be in HR.

Here are the complete results:

a.  Giddy. I would pay for the privilege of doing my job.  (4%)
b.  Delighted.  I would almost do my job for free.  (18%)
c.  Happy.  I like my job and feel content.  (55%)
d.  Glum.  I’m not happy, but if I got a 25% raise, I might be.  (21%)
e.  Suicidal.  They couldn’t pay me enough to continue doing my job.  In fact, I’m quitting right now.  (3%)

Personally, I’m not surprised by these numbers.  In my humble opinion, HR people typically are the most wonderful and well adjusted human beings on the planet.

However, we are concerned by the 24% of you who reported feeling glum and/or suicidal in your present role.  We hereby adopt it as our personal mission to do whatever it takes to raise the general happiness level of those individuals and will design future Blawg content accordingly.

Thanks for participating!  The next poll will be coming your way soon.
