Workplace horror stories that prove HR is not your friend

Remember, kids: “HR is not there to protect anyone, they are there to ensure that both the employer and employees follow employment law.”

“The problem is that HR people are also employees and can be fired by upper management, so they will tend to lean in favor of management out of self-preservation.

I firmly believe that all HR professionals should be independent contractors bound by ironclad contracts so they can be truly impartial… CYA by documenting everything, and any and all disciplinary actions should be documented and signed by both parties. “
