Speaking up about workplace concerns should never leave an employee feeling isolated or disposable. My experience made me question how organisations balance wellbeing, psychological safety and accountability. I'm grateful for the support I've received and I'm now looking for a workplace that values transparency, inclusion and respectful leadership. What do you think makes employees feel safe enough to raise concerns?

Unfortunately HR's primary role is to protect the company from its employees.

Internal whistleblower hotlines generally exist to identify and correct issues before they negatively impact the company.

OP, that's just it there is no internal support that genuinely looks out for the employees. It's about mitigating risk for the employer. This realization is one of the drivers for younger generations shifting toward starting their own business endeavors as they don't trust the corporate world from observation and hearing older workers' experiences.

https://ergochair.co/collections/chairs/products/ergonomics-mesh-chair-w-adjustable-headrest-and-armrest?variant=32511617597491

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest

I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.
