Wonkie.com is basically developing a cartooning platform with a local IT company that will enable bloggers and disgruntled employees to create and post their own cartoons - related to HR on this site of course! What better way to communicate your irritation and frustration and have a laugh at the same time! The new platform should be launched in December 2008 - so coming soon to a blog near you!

In the meantime, for sample cartoons and a blog of current affairs in cartoon format check out US election cartoons and South African cartoons - do comment and let us know your thoughts and if there are any special characters you’d like us to include.

So let’s analyze what happens instead - HR people have job descriptions that spans all the pink and fluffy gunk you can possibly imagine. I think half our problems would be solved had the job profile included the basics.. you know - like addition, subtraction etc. Instead we have highly trained ‘professionals’ that can’t calculate bonus figures using a simple Excel spreadsheet. But hey - they can speak for 6 hours nonstop on the importance of culture in an organisation and how much experience they have in managing people at different companies all over the countryside.. GRRR
