One day, while walking down the street, a highly successful Human Resources Manager was tragically hit by a bus, and she died. Her soul arrived in heaven, where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.
"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in, though, it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once had a Human Resources Manager make it this far, and we're not really sure what to do with you."
"No problem, just let me in," said the woman.
"Well, I'd like to, but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven, and then you can choose whichever one you want to spend eternity in."
"Actually, I think I've made up my mind. I prefer to stay in Heaven," said the woman.
"Sorry, we have rules..."
And with that, St. Peter put the executive in an elevator, and it went down, down, down to hell.
The doors opened, and she found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf course. In the distance was a country club, and standing in front of her were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with. They were well-dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up, kissed her on both cheeks, talked about old times, played an excellent round of golf, and at night went to the country club, where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner.
She met the Devil, who was actually a really nice guy (kind of cute), and she had a great time telling jokes and dancing.
She was having such a good time that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand and waved goodbye as she got on the elevator.
The elevator went up, up, up, and opened back up at the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter was waiting for her.
"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next 24 hours lounging around on clouds, playing the harp, and singing. She had a great time, and before she knew it, her 24 hours were up, and St. Peter came and got her.
"So, you've spent a day in hell, and you've spent a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity,"
The woman paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say this. I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a better time in Hell."
So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator, and again she went down, down, down back to Hell.
When the doors of the elevator opened, she found herself standing in a desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends dressed in rags, picking up the garbage and putting it in sacks.
The Devil came up to her, put his arm around her, and said, "I don't understand," stammered the woman, "yesterday I was here, and there was a golf course and a country club, and we ate lobster and we danced and had a great time. Now all there is a wasteland of garbage, and all my friends look miserable."
The Devil looked at her, smiled, and said, "Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an employee..."

According to my view, the last sentence should be: "Yesterday you were in Induction/Orientation, today you are on the job" ("Yesterday we were recruiting you, today you're an Employee..").
Does my statement make sense?

This is about Golfers, and I do not know if anything to do with HR, except that HR is omnipresent and omniscient.
A Golfer finished his tenure in this world, the world that we know. As such, he reported to Heaven, duly transferred, along with his Golf set.
At the Gates of Heaven, the Security Guard, or whatever there is on these Gates, said that there was no Golf Course there.
The Late Golfer said, "What heaven then?" 🙄
To me, 'wherever there is a Golf Course, there is heaven' 😉
Amen,
