I don’t think this is “bypassing HR” These folks are using their negative experiences to become influencers or teach others. I doubt the LinkedIn subtweeting at a boss actually impacts the specific toxic boss. Some people are horrible to colleagues and peers and can work the system to progress their careers. Some organizations reward this unconsciously (because everyone is such a person!). I don’t think there’s much an individual can do to change such a culture. You just need to leave and find a better one.
