4. Who else can you go to when you KNOW you’re not being paid enough?

5. How would you like the stress of knowing that the president of the company will call you EVERY time something bad happens?

6. HR pros figure out which job candidate to search for and what that person should be paid based upon job descriptions like, “Functional Area Expert: Experience must include both the functional aspects of the functional area and information systems utilized within that functional area.” (A description that a PayScale customer was trying to price.)

7. Who else is going to look through 200 (or 500 or 1,000) resumes to find exactly the right candidate for the job?

8. Who has to smile when the CFO says, “We have to figure out who’s going to get laid off,” and then go and figure it out?

9. Who acts polite and professional around every employee at the company, even though they know all their worst secrets?

10. An HR pro makes sure that the twentieth employee to complain that day gets all of the attention they need.
