Yes

I’ve never worked at a single place that had a helpful HR department outside of the hiring/firing phases.

Yes. Especially if it involves harassment or a terrible/ abusive manager. They’ll put their head in the sand and circle the wagons before figuring out a game plan… then only respond when, and in a way that benefits their game plan.

HR exists to protect the c-suite and shareholders. Never employees.

Can anyone offer advice for helping with adderall side effects? I was diagnosed a few months ago and I am new to medication. I have been taking 20 mg xr in the morning but have a terrible crash around 2/3pm each day where I just get very very tired. Doctor recommended 10mg ir mid day to combat but I still experience pretty severe fatigue as a side effect. Just wondering if anyone has found any natural strategies to cope or mitigate. Thanks!

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
