It still baffles me to think that some still believe that HR is on their side. Human resource is there to safeguard the company from regulatory, compliance, and legal challenges.
- mcpackieh 3y agoSome people are inexperienced and/or naturally trusting. HR always talks sweet and acts like they're the good guys here to help you. They wouldn't do this unless some people were going to fall for it.
- dr_kiszonka 3y agoIs it in tech or in other industries too? (I am not that experienced, and have had relatively positive experiences with HR, besides occasional incompetence.)
- CapstanRoller 3y agoAs a worker, ask yourself some questions: was HR hired to represent you, or to represent the corporation? Is HR part of your personal legal counsel team? Who signs HR's paychecks?
- _8j50 3y agoYes, but what surprises me is that HR is not that smart usually like you are saying, they don't think out what is in the best interest of the company but rather usually just side with a middle manager's opinion, at least with big companies. With smaller companies, execs are more in touch with line managers and employees, they still look after the company period but at least it is not a wasteful kelptocracy.
