I once watched an HR team rebuild trust after a major leadership change that came with layoffs and restructures. Employees blamed HR, but HR was also adjusting in real time. When leadership changes, HR is often both messenger and shock absorber.
Do you think HR gets unfairly blamed during transitions?

I see HR as being there to buffer and protect the company. That’s what they do so why should any individual expect anything helpful from them or place any trust in them.

Any thoughts on this?

It’s not unfair, they are not your friend, and someone is pulling the strings somewhere outside HR

HR gets blamed for a lot of things, in my experience. I don’t think people realize how little control HR actually has over many decisions. They’re often the fall guy.

Fall guy or not. Their job is to protect the company, not the employees. HR can’t be trusted.

After 9 months, I finally found my first BTAC while out and about. Looking forward to cracking it open after dry January! The W12 (1L) was a little pricey, but it was my first time seeing one in a store. For everyone out there looking for BTAC there is hope. Keep preserving, check the whole in the wall Mom & Pop shops.
