Halloween is the best holiday of the year. There are no family obligations, no special meals with complicated instruction and lots and lots of candy. And also, Zombies. So, it's highly possible that your Human Resources department has been taken over by these Zombies. (For some reason, I feel that Zombies should be capitalized. I think this is because I don't want to offend them.)
Here are 10 signs that your HR department has been taken over by Zombies.
