HR is not there for you. HR is there for the company. I've made the mistake of thinking that HR would solve malfeasance and Bad Political Shit done to me by managers. Won't make that mistake again.

I don't completely agree and have experienced otherwise, but it also depends on whether the manager is going against company culture and policy.

  Let's just say that making a manager's girlfriend mad at me (she was a cow-orker of mine, he was a manager in the same group) and thinking that HR would fix anything forced me into one of the best career choices I ever made (srlsly!)

    Any company which is OK with manager-subordinate romance is not worth working for, IMO.

      Company was okay. That group, not so much . . .

        Fair enough, although this seems like something which is ideally a company-wide policy from very early on. FWIW, I regretted typing that after re-reading it later. There are most certainly exceptions.
