My boomer mother is retired HR exec. Whenever I ask for recommendations on address situations at work she recommends I get over it because I work from home. My new manager has boundary issues and talking it over with my boomer, I mean mother, I was told “who gets to do laundry at lunchtime?” Mmmkay, just because I had to buy the desk I sit at doesn’t mean I don’t work. 🤬 Burn my childhood home down or put her in a home?

Haha. Try having a dad who is a retired Big 4 partner who made partner back when you just needed your frat brother to be CFO somewhere, who got the job by giving the manager a firm handshake.

I don’t know who I hate more, boomers or HR. My sincerest apologies that you have to deal with both. You mother sounds like an extremely toxic human being, I seriously recommend you look into getting guardianship over her and than forcibly placing her in a care home. You’ll live a much happier life (trust me, have personal experience with this).

C1 - sorry to hear your experience has been so negative, but generalizing an entire group of people is really detrimental. Yes, HR professionals are there to protect the company - similar to how a corporation’s lawyers, salesmen, and leaders are hired to provide a service to the company that employs them. I don’t know what HR people you’ve encountered but that’s not been my experience. I know plenty of consultants that have gotten to where they have by lying, spreading rumors, stealing credit for others work, partners/leaders making promises to junior associates that never get fulfilled, making decisions that negatively impact the benefits of employees so that they can increase executive comp exorbitant amounts - but that doesn’t represent all consultants. Depends on the company, group, and culture. However if that’s been your only experience, I can see why you’d view people negatively.

This is such a boomer mentality, being told to get over something, not to be oversensitive, or to be grateful. Sometimes I want helpful advice or to just vent 🤬 there is a reason why I don't tell my parents most of the issues/frustrations I face.
