We're not saying that employees will revert to a completely feral state without some oversight, but it could happen. Luckily, the human resources people of the world keep organizations ticking along without incident.

Compensation and benefits managers make a median $94,000 per year, recruiting managers make $88,000 per year, and human resources managers round out the list at $87,000 per year (source). We think that's more than fair, considering that you'll have to be the one to talk to Larry after he kicks the water cooler because his team lost the Super Bowl.

Chill out, Larry. Chill out.
