HR folks- have you ever had to enforce a policy you vehemently disagreed with? What was that like and was it worth it? That’s the number one thing keeping me from pursuing HR roles.

I’ve had to do it all the time. Frankly I detached myself from feeling any of it early on. I’m not the business owner so I don’t get to decide how they want to run things. I’ve advised against certain things and they’ve agreed sometimes, but not always. So I’ve just treated everything transactionally and for a paycheck. As long as they don’t try to enforce anything illegal I’m fine with it. Legality is where I draw the line, I’d quit if they want to enforce anything unlawful.

I have not worked directly in HR, but from friends who do, they say it happens more than people think. Some policies feel wrong, but the job is to balance company needs and personal values. It is tough, but picking the right company helps a lot. Would you still consider HR if you found the right culture?

I'd never want to work in HR, in part because of this. Employees are conditioned to not trust HR, and HR is almost always the bearer of bad news. Who wants to have to fire people or force them to return to office?

I accepted a $115K base salary, 13% bonus, 10k sign on bonus (scientist supervisor) job and two weeks later, got a $135K base, 17% bonus, and 15K sign on bonus (Senior scientist role) offer from another company. Should I accept the new offer ? How do I tell the previous company about this? Also, I’ve already negotiated with the first company and the $115K base is the negotiated salary. I really do not prefer one company over the other. They’re both great! I’m very confused here. TIA🙏

3 YOE in Marketing through internships in college, followed by 2 years Financial Operations/Data Tools full-time. I got an offer for $75K at TekSystems for a Market Analyst role.

Just to note, this is about a 25% increase compared to what I am currently making.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
