Always drama, lots of problems

You will deal with a lot of drama. Exhausting in every sense but it can somehow be rewarding. You just have rise above stress.

ER is by far my favorite function of HR. Every investigation is unique which keeps it interesting. Interviewing employees, customers management etc allr require different styles and keeps you sharp. I even enjoy gathering evidence and writing the reports. Granted y previous career was as an investigator for Children's Protective Services so this plays into my strengths, but a good investigation always leaves me energized

I hate drama and I can’t deal with peoples emotion very well. So I don’t ever want to do ER

Yes. The comments about the drama are so on point. You need the capacity to deal with people if you want to switch to ER.

ER is not for the faint of heart. It can be emotionally difficult and at times 24/7. It’s complex and there are many eyes from leadership with high interest all the time.
