I'm a Workforce Management Analyst.
What would that be in English?

I thought you might ask. It translates, roughly, into genius.
It basically means I determine the staffing needs of the business and provide recommendations about whether to hire, fire, or move employees to meet those needs. I also manage attendance, productivity and vacation balances and provide reports and analysis to managers. Woohoo!
We call that "personnel". I'm glad someone likes doing this necessary function.
I'd last 5 minutes...4 of those minutes just clearing out my desk after being fired.
Please don't take this clip the wrong way....it's just a favorite Dirty Harry scene.

Haha that was funny. Fortunately I don't have to do the actual hiring or firing. I just make recommendations based on the numbers I crunch. Honestly though I haven't done much of anything since January. I took this position at that time and all I've done (basically) is enter sick time into the system each morning for the people who call in. I don't really love it. It's hardly my calling in life. But I'm certainly able to pay the bills and try to finish college.
Sounds good to me!

I'm approaching the end of my first year here, so I'm looking forward to a 3-5% raise. I'm also in my 5th year as a WFM (workforce management) dude. Once I've got 5 years under my belt, I'm suddenly worth more. So I'll be looking for jobs elsewhere. Then I'll graduate from college, and I'll abandon it all for a much less secure role as an artist at some animation or game design studio. Plan A.

It was on fire when I laid down on it.
This is very cool. I worked in the staffing industry and HR for many years. For much of that time I worked for a very large staffing company that provided seasonal help for large employers, which involved a lot of meeting with people like you. I loved it!
I also developed policy and procedure manuals for small to midsize privately owned companies, and that also often morphed into working with them on their ramp up and recruiting programs.
It was very interesting work. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

Are you a doctor because you obtained a doctorate from an accredited university? Or because it sounds better to the lay people?
At first glance, I missed the "the" and read "lay" as a verb.

Wouldn't make any sense, but still funny.
