I was scheduled for an interview on Tuesday at 3:15pm. The interviewer (female) sent me a confirmation email to which I replied "I look forward to speaking with you Tuesday at 3:15pm."
I showed up on Tuesday at 3 pm ( i like to show up early) and interviewer started screaming at me in front of the front office "My calendar says Wednesday at 3:15pm, not Tuesday!!! Come to my office. Ill show you"
So, I walked with her to her office and pulled up my cell phone email.
She then says that she will call me in a week or so and handed me a water bottle. There was no interview at all.
Was I wrong to have brought up the email? What would you have done?
HR!! You can't live with them, you can't live without them!!!

I could very easily and gladly live without them. Just hire some admins to administer benefits or a paralegal to advice on legal compliance with personnel matters.
I don't understand anyone who thinks the OP shouldn't have shown the email. At best, if they didn't, they would look like someone who can't keep basic days straight (in the mind of the crazy interviewer) and would never have gotten the job anyway.

Yeah there's that (even though the worker entered the date wrong.) Did anyone wonder if they were going for that person's position so they perhaps sabotaged it on purpose just like those that throw paper applications in the trash bin without really looking at them?
I have doubts about the veracity of this story, myself, or at least the OP's interpretation of the event. The title of the thread itself is an apparent lie. So maybe the encounter didn't go down exactly as the OP has related it.

They aren't needed...they are quite useless.

Better yet, outsource benefits administration and hiring. I agree on the paralegals.

Hopefully within the US you mean. Last thing we need are more jobs lost. If we outsource HR, employees will still have to deal with asshat HR bureaucracy, just with delays and headaches dealing with asshats abroad.
