Cool story bro.
Thanks bro…
I think it’s for those who don’t know yet, I bet many of us wished we knew this earlier
Thanks for sharing OP
When layoffs come, HR isn’t your shield.
They’re the executioner.
They call it “restructuring.”
You call it losing your stability.
They still sleep just fine.
Harassment?
Bullying?
Abuse?
If the abuser is valuable, HR protects them.
If you’re a risk, you’re expendable.
Compliance > Compassion.
That’s the rule.
Your tears don’t matter.
Your health doesn’t matter.
The only question is:
“Does this hurt the company?”
HR is not a safe space.
It’s surveillance.
Nobody in your company is your friend or savior. I think everyone except you already knew that.
PwC1, what I said doesn’t confirm what you said at all. Obviously not true for all and I’m not saying all work friends become great friends, but if you don’t ever give it a chance, it can never happen. How would you know whether you’d go nuts with that person if you’re too afraid to ever develop that friendship? Plus, just because you wouldn’t go nuts with someone, doesn’t exclude them from becoming a great friend…that’s a self-limiting belief about friendship.
I feel like this was written to be super deep and provocative but instead it reads as…well, yeah?
Yes HR is there to enforce policy. No they don’t shield employers from layoffs (how would they even work?)
Is this a surprise to anyone who works in a corporation?
I think if you're green and just starting out, it may be surprising.
Not to get to far off the beaten-topic, but once when I was a sweet, summer child I thought I could actually recover when put on a PIP....ah....sweet sweet naivete....
It took you making SM to finally figure this out?!
Well, yeah…is there a question here?
HR is your resource if you use it properly.
Sounds like IBMs HR onboarding presentation.
If you had the privilege to grow up in a union household, this was a lesson taught before middle school. The company won't protect you and they don't care about you. You care about yourself and your fellow workers. The end.

Says…a Manger. Got it.
Did something happen to you?
As a 20-year HR Professional, I can say with supreme confidence that this is not how I have conducted myself during my career. There is a balance between protecting the company and being an employee advocate. One of the comments below say that if the employee is valuable but do something inappropriate, HR will protect that valuable employee. That contradicts what you claim HR does in the first place in protecting the company, because that high performer will likely cause an expensive lawsuit. If your company does not have HR professionals that are advocates for the employees, you should change companies.
Totes. I had a Manager at Leidos who is a narcissistic bully with a pathological need for conflict. People left the office crying. The whole team turned over at least once. Everyone left negative exit interviews. She was given coaching which didn’t change her pathological behavior. But there have been no real consequences for her poor leadership.
Same here , they actually fired people who were the victims as they became a risk instead against the company with all the complaints
I disagree
I’m Director of HR and def on the employee side if they’re a good employee. The owner is horrific and I help all the employees get out lol
How do you help an employee get out and why do you allow bad managers to stay?
Is this supposed to be earth shattering? I thought most people knew this…
hmm
Absolutely.
Absolutely true! Accenture HR drops into standing calls, group presentations. Meetings to evaluate who is presenting as well as who is attending and partucipating.

WTH are you talking about? Are you saying that HR randomly pops into internal/external meetings that they were not invited to?
I've worked well with HR professionals yet I also have known if anything would ever go sideways in my experience with an employer in any of a multitude of ways, life would get real messy, real fast, in exponential ways. The strategy? Low expectations and knowing the lay of the land.
