Remember folks - HR works for the company. They don’t work for you. THEY ARE NOT ON YOUR SIDE. They are there to protect the company. Do not be deceived into thinking you can cry on their shoulder because those folks love to gossip and nothing you say is confidential. I learned this the hard way through many jobs.

[@jamescaron6465]

You are 100% correct. Everyone who reads this needs to listen to this man. HR is not your friend. EVER. If you are fixing to file a lawsuit, they will pretend to be your friend to soften you up.

[@Anticrystal88]

Sadly, this is true. I worked in HR for a while and took it as my responsibility to advocate for the staff. However, that is unusual. Last company I worked for, anything you told HR "in confidence" wasn't confidential at all, was gossip fodder and repeated up the chain. P.S. It's against labor law to classify somebody as a contractor just because you don't want to pay them benefits. There are clear guidelines about what makes you a contractor vs. what makes you an employee. Don't fall for that one!

[@eplanti]

uh... HR is useless, the whole point of being a manager is NOT having HR.... EVER show up, they suck at everything, don't know what the company does, don't know if a project is vital or not, and have employees hold hands and sing coom-ba-yaah for all that, they take money out of your paycheck and fool around 95% of the day

[@KomarBrolan]

Very much this. If you complain too much to HR they will build a case to get rid of you. Saw that happen to a co-worker. She complained a few times then her position was eliminated. Then two months after she was gone another person having the same duties but a different title showed up.

I turned in an employee that was scamming customers at my last job. Instead of an investigation, I sat on a video call with HR for over 3 hours - the entire time, the lady was asking me leading questions trying to implicate myself in wrongdoing so they could fire me. I was even told to shut off my phone and and recording devices before the call. I worked there for about 6 months after this, and left yesterday. HR is not there for employees. This video nails it. It was easier to try and get rid of me, than to hold the other guy accountable. So after a decade, I quit.

[@princessmarlena1359]

Very smart. The place sounds toxic anyway.

[@memkakes1514]

Should have let them fire you to get 6 months severance pay unless that unfortunately isn't a thing where you're from

[@Limrasson]

When someone asks you to turn off your recording devices that's mighty suspicious. A - They can't check or enforce this in any way. Therefore asking to do so is more of a scare tactic. B - Laws govern of when and how you can record calls. I believe in this case both parties have to agree to it. So if they are asking they either don know/care for any laws or they preparing something much, much worse.

[@Mrfinch9999]

I wish they touched on this more. Reporting even sexual harassment will often get you in trouble or fired. Especially if the person being accused is a useful worker to the company. They do not care, they care about protecting themselves from getting sued. They will even fire people for obvious false accusations because the person accusing is higher up the chain and does not like you.

Not suprised, the training is really to cover the company's butt. If the company faces any lawsuits, they can say that they had "Harassment" or "Safety" training for their employees. I'm not surprised that the test questions can be answered with common sense. No company wants any employee to spend extra time restudying, instead of making more money for the company.

If he's as talented as the boss thinks, he should breeze through" (or something to that effect). The HR panel were utterly shocked - and interview terminated quickly. Nothing in my many years since in various organisation has contradicted this - HR talk about rules and governance, but throw said rulebook in the fire to do as the boss says.

HR here. I clicked "Play" so fast, my finger hurts lol. Just chiming in. Honest Ads nailed this perfectly. Human Resources should be renamed to "Human Asset Management" because that is what it is. HR ensures that the company remains compliant with employee administration from a legal point of view, and is the first point of HR matters on behalf of the company. HR is paid by the company, so of course, will usually favor the company in most exchanges. Folks, if you want representation, work with a lawyer if you really need to, or even better, form a UNION! Unions fight on the employee's behalf to ensure proper bargaining and rights are being accounted for. If you can form a union, do so. I may be HR, but I'm also an employee, so let's work together to level out the working place for everyone.

Sure, HR is not your friend, they are your co-workers, but in a healthy companies they are there to take care of your needs as a worker so you'd be happy. I've never seen an HR investigating employees to find reasons to fire them.

I still remember being deposed and belittled by the opposing lawyer and in that case I’m just the deceased daughter who was several states away when the incident happened. I don’t even understand planes to comment. To go through it again would bring little. The VP who quit last month is contemplating suing. But she just wants to be rid of the company. I think walking away with an letter calming explaining my frustrations and calling out some of the behavior while calling for a third party investigation is best. Hopefully it will bring change because after the VP left apparently the CEO’s wife has taken notice. Hopefully a second person calling it out in quick succession will move the needle. I already have a new job. It pays more and there’s no way I will be treated worse.

HR and Ethics departments for any company, are basically just formalities to make employees feel like they are cared for, and that the workplace is "fair", but everyone knows that the people that work in those departments are snitches, and anything you tell them will end up being used against you, because even though its supposed to be "anonymous" and "confidential", your bosses and coworkers always learn of whatever you discussed in those departments, and then your time at the workplace will end up becoming a living hell for you, so its in your best interest not to complain to them, if you don't want things to get worse for you later, you should only go to them if you don't care and have nothing to lose.

HR is not there for you, it's there for the business. It's there to punish employees, and also to cover the asses of corporate. If you think HR is your friend, then you are sadly mistaken. And any accusations anyone makes against you could be used to get you fired regardless of proof or not

The hardest concept for me to wrap my head around in when studying HR as part of my business degree was the "Agency Problem" where self-interested managers waste companh resources on vanity projects against the wishes of the pragmatic shareholders who just want whatever earns money. Since companies usually fail due to the opposite issue of clueless shareholders micromanaging or commissioning bad projects against the wishes of managers who actually understand what consumers want, I kept misinterpreting it.

[@janeentumbao8690]

HR IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!!!😂😂😂😂 I remember that I was being flat out bullied by my boss's boss and I reported them to HR. Those bitches told me, in essence, that's how we roll and to get the fuck used to it. Fuck that... Boss tried to bully me again. But this time, I went to corporate. Things changed IMMEDIATELY! And then, eventually, dude got fired. Other managers weren't happy about that, nor local HR. But I didn't appreciate being treated like shit, being publicly humiliated and denied the ability to fully do my job. And this, ladies and gentlemen, is whyyyyy working from home is much better than working in office. Oh... That's another video y'all should do!!! Your camera gotta be on! You still gotta dress like you're in the office! You're remote, but gotta trek to the office 3xs a month and you live an hour away from the office! Or you're hired as fully remote, and live in a totally different state, time zone even and are forced to either relocate or quit. You live in Topeka and gotta move to NYC, pay for your own relocation expenses and do all that in a month. And no pay increase. 😂😂😂😂

My coworker was reported multiple times from 1 employee for statements he made the local bar after hours by someone who was not invited to the group. I got called by HR to validate what was said. I told HR “sure he could have said that, but never in the office or in front of clients” and asked “why are you investigating things outside of work?”…..case closed and the reporting person was put on a watchlist by HR for false accusations ( it’s nice to be friends with the HR people too who let you know the results of investigations)

The accuracy. It hurts 😢😢

[@skovner]

"Unlimited vacation" isn't just to avoid tracking vacation. It is to avoid employees aecruing vacation that then has to be paid when the employee leaves or is terminated. Makes payroll and accounting easier (accrued vacation is money owed to the employee and has to be tracked as such) And then your manager gets to approve it or not. I worked for a company that went to "unlimited" when I was accruing 4 weeks. New guideline was 3 weeks. So much for "unlimited". My then-manager allowed me 4 weeks but he got pushed out and my new manager would not stand up to HR (the previous one would and that is partly why he was forced out) and I lost a week - plus since no accrued vacation, when I got laid off, less money.

[@ProductBasement]

"Unlimited vacation time" doesn't have anything to do with HR employees being confused by their own portal. Salaried employees usually accrue paid time off as compensation, which is a liability for the company. When they can no longer accrue PTO, that's essentially like taking away that part of their compensation, which may not make any real difference in the amount of work that gets done per quarter, but it decreases the company's liabilities. Also, if an employee quits or is fired, they have no accrued PTO to cash out

[@chadleatherby3309]

They give unlimited pto to employees then tell them their sales goal is so high to keep their job they can take no time off

[@ProductBasement]
