4. Evil HR Lady

Evil HR Lady HR leaders you should follow

What’s so great about her

Evil HR lady (Suzanne Lucas) is a blogger/advice columnist.  After spending 10 years in corporate human resources, she’s now on a mission to demystify the dreaded HR department.  She describes why on her blog,

“All HR people are evil, it’s in our job description. Or at least, that seems to be the prevailing theory. In reality, there’s just more going on behind the scenes than most people know. I’m here to demystify your Human Resources department and tell you just why you worked your tail end off all year and still got a 1.7 percent bonus.”
