Abstract
When the CEO of a US rent‐to‐own company fired top HR people and eliminated many HR functions, he revealed more than one prejudice and set in motion a disastrous train of events which led to $47m of pay‐outs to plaintiffs. J. Ernest Talley’s decision to wipe out Rent‐A‐Center’s HR operation reflected a misunderstanding of the role of human resources.
