I'm visiting my former workplace. I've entered the building via an entrance other than the main entrance, and I encounter a few former coworkers. As I hang out with them, I realize that I should check in at the front desk, and I tell the guys that. One of them, JJ, looks me straight in the eye and says, "I'll go with you. HR wants me to replace the urinal cake in the men's room."
JJ and the gang walk in the general direction that I go in, but their path is meandering. In going up flights of stairs they switch between stairwells, for example. So I dawdle a bit as I watch and wait for them to catch up.
Commentary:
JJ is a talented process engineer. The main idea with this is that the woman in Human Resources (HR) has given him a "lowly" task befitting a janitor. JJ is not happy with it. This representation of HR calling the shots mirrors my opinion that HR in large companies, acting as the company "bouncer," is getting out-of-control. Or, they don't really know what engineers do or are capable of.
