Doesn't everyone at the company... work for the company? An Engineering Manager has an incentive to overwork engineers to a hit a deadline -- and, yes, sometimes that happens! -- but in addition to just being a bad thing to do, that comes at a huge long term cost to the business. It's much better for the company and the employees to not overwork them. If HR is doing it right, supporting the company and supporting its employees are compatible goals.
- falcolas 7y ago> supporting the company and supporting its employees are compatible goals. Until an employee does something that puts themselves at odds with the company. At which point HR is the tip of the spear when it comes to protecting the company from that employee. "Here's how to let them go legally." "Here's how we bribe them into not talking bad about us." "Here's our zero tolerance policy we can fit our employee firing into."
