My day is off to a great start. Please note that I typed that with a heaping load of sarcasm. The owner I work for wants me to type and distribute a new policy forbidding our employees from deleting messages or private chats in Teams. I was too dumbfounded to argue with him. What the hell do I do now? If you can't tell by this request, he is not a reasonable or level headed guy.

So, just because a chat is deleted by a user does not mean it is deleted from the system. IT should be able to pull it back up if necessary. Nothing truly is deleted in the digital age...

This is the argument I would go back to the owner with. Let them know most deleted chats are either to correct an error or no longer needed however, IT should be able to pull data... if that's how you want them to spend their time/resources ($$)

Tell them “no.”

Report back as to how that works.

Otherwise, do as the owner says unless it is illegal. That is how you stay employed.

This is why I will never again work for an owner/founding CEO. The vast majority know literally nothing about being a good leader. The only great leader I ever worked for had experience in HR so knew how to treat her people, and her company wins "best place to work" awards in my region from multiple publications -- and those awards are earned because we employees complete the surveys asking us questions about working there.

I'd start by asking what the reasons are behind such a decision. Then find a way to tackle the issue (trust issue?) in another way.

That would definitely raise questions for me too. Any policy around monitoring communications needs to be very clear about the purpose, expectations, and privacy implications.

And, if you have any employees outside the US, tons of regulations re: transparency of how data is stored and used. Monitoring is fine if it’s disclosed to employees and handled correctly.

I am looking to make a career change to HR. I currently make 75K as a sales and development coach. I had a recent offer for a state government position in a talent acquisition role but I’d be taking a $25K pay cut. I am extremely over qualified for the position but it could possibly be a stepping stone and gives me the time to acquire SHRM certifications and possibly start taking classes to get my MBA. My question is those currently in an HR role, would this move make sense to you?

Need some advice. During May of 2021 an operations manager and an hourly Hr employee started a relationship while the ops manager was married.

Is it too late to investigate the ops manager for misconduct ? The ops manager has worked here for 15 years and is super valuable, the operation literally can not run without him.
