It has come to my attention that suddenly they've instructed the company's security to write our names down upon entering and leaving the company.
Now, to me, this is insulting, I do not need a security guy to monitor my movement, we're grown ups, task-oriented professionals, we shouldn't be held to time schedules, and sure as hell, I shouldn't be put under surveillance by some security guy.
They have time stamped ID's, we stamp on our way in and on our way out, this is sufficient.
Upon confronting the HR manager with this, he asked me the most stupid question ever.
"And what if you've given your ID to someone else to stamp for you?"
Now this is unheard of, if you don't trust us enough to finish our jobs and abide by the working hours, then just fire us, terminate our contracts, but this is insulting.
Honestly, have we reached the point where our employer distrusts us so much?
And for the record, I - complainer - happen to be the first one who shows up at the company premises, but I still find it insulting and degrading.

Geee!
i hear you...
ironic thing, during business studies looong ago, my first instinct was to focus on all HR related courses, most of which were referred to as "humanitarian courses"... then i spent one day of training a friend of my dad's and i thought CRAP! then i shifted to marketing, and then it took me a real life case study from the Egyptian market to give up on everything!!!!
point was, HR people give HR a bad name.... they only know how to take away whatever motivation you might have and make you resent yourself for working for them... i just heard my old company installed attendance systems that record employees attendance with their own fingerprints, i wouldn't normally mind, only this company barely pays anyone over 5K, and i am talking senior staff!!!!
looks like it's a good day for anger!
HR in Egypt is for torturing employees..And making you hate going to work.
Yep, when I first learned about HR, it was easily discernible into 3 main functionalities, recruitment, retainment and disciplinary.
Looks like they overlooked the second somewhere along the way.
