First time you get to see 'HR' in many organisations - when you push the 'leave' button and they want to tick the 'leaver interview' box to demonstrate how much they care! First time was yea long ago with Marconi Space and Defence Systems (yes, that long ago) and I nearly laughed myself silly when I got the invite to the meeting. Declined less than politely - if they didn't care for over three years then what was the point? They didn't seem to like that being written on their magic form.
