Be smart enough to determine if your interests align with the company's interests before talking to HR. Sometimes they do.

Be smart enough to determine if your interests align with the company's interests before talking to HR. Sometimes they do.
- protomyth 7y agoYeah, HR is a dangerous tool. Know the rules and intent before using. Frankly, if you are to the point where HR is even in the conversation, then you really need to have a large financial incentive to stay around. The reward better be worth the risk.
- jmpman 7y agoHR is not in your interest. They are only looking out for the company. They will protect illegal actions by the company if you are raising issues. See how Wells Fargo HR was complicit in their recent scandals.
- owenmarshall 7y agoThat’s a dangerous thing to try. We like to think we are smart but even the lowest level HR person knows things that aren’t even on our radar. Ever had a complaint made against you? Possibly - maybe it was quietly filed away. Ever wonder if people are paying attention to when you come into the office? They are. I went through an outsourcing at my last job and for nine+ months the only people that knew it was coming was executive leadership, the CIO, and his HR staff. HR is risky because they have hidden information in spades. The interests you think align might not after all.
