Some have claimed [[human resources]] departments are some kind of [[extended phenotype]] — an adaptation that the rest of us depend upon for our own survival. The better view is that ''we'' are an [[extended phenotype]] of ''theirs'' (in the same way that wheat domesticated homo sapiens and not vice versa). | |||

It will demand the hardest of disciplinary lines for those poor souls shunted into the bottom bucket — all of this in the interests of fairness and transparency and to minimise claims for [[constructive dismissal]] — but will then decline to permit the consequences (ie firing the poor sod) because of the risk of procedural unfairness in doing so. | As a policy stance, [[HR]] will publicly deny but privately insist upon [[forced ranking]].
