Don’t make HR the Forms Nazis

Any HR person worth their pay doesn’t like running after employees to fill out forms. We hate it. It’s a junior administrative function, but since your insurance and review forms contain confidential info we can’t delegate the forms chase to others. Seriously, we are sick of hounding you to meet deadlines. We get that your job is way more important than our form and we respect what you do. In fact its humiliating to have to cajole you to fill it out when we know you are busy on the core work of the company. So just do it already. You aren’t the only busy professional on earth and we get no personal or professional joy out of chasing you to enter your insurance plan choices on a form that is for your own benefit in the first place. And by the way, when the form clearly says it needs to be completed in blue or black ink (like every other form on earth) please don’t choose this particular moment to express your individuality by using green ink. It’s a pain in the ass to go back to you and make you do it over while your selfish action has held up enrolling every other employee on an insurance plan that requires forms from all participants.
