When I would schedule meetings at my old workplace, they were all so used to feeling traumatized and afraid to be laid off that when I had to meet them I’d always put in the meeting notes “I’m NOT laying you off, don’t worry!” Or I would immediately tell them at the beginning if I didn’t schedule it. Yeah, it was that rough.
I’ve found the best approach is the make an effort to get to know at least one or two in each department. Share things about yourself so they see you are an employee just trying to do your work, like anyone else. The line is fine but I can tell you, it CAN be adhered to and you can manage it well if you work at it.
That’s such a good idea—disarming people upfront. I might steal that line because the tension is real when HR shows up. Building those personal connections feels like the only way to soften it.
Most of the time. They always assume I'm there only to impose rules or police everything.
Exactly. It gets exhausting being seen as the rule enforcer. I want people to realise we’re here to support, not just police every move.
