Many employees learn the hard way that HR is not their friend, and they care much more about protecting the company and management than the average employee. They might sing a different tune, going on and on about wanting to help and be there to listen to any complaint, then as soon as one dares to voice a complaint, HR immediately shows their true face.
When the employee in the story below collected evidence about their boss’s poor management, they were sure HR would be in their corner. They spend months collecting screenshots and recording handbook violations that would prove just how badly their boss is performing. They then reported it to HR and hoped they would do their job.
Instead, the employee was met with radio silence, an empty calendar, and their work assigned to someone else. Not only did HR not help, but they actually made things worse for the employee. It was so bad that the employee didn’t have a choice but to resign.
And guess who got to keep their job without any repercussions?
