This is just a tawdry /r/antiwork meme borne of McDonalds burger flipper level reasoning.
Sure, companies maximise profits and hire HR to assist them in that objective.
However, your own interests are often aligned with theirs.
If you want to sue your employer, then obviously HR is not there to help you do that.
However, if your supervisor is an ass who makes witty comments about how many cup cakes you ate, your interests are aligned with HR's - he needs to stop creating fodder for your bullying claim.
She literally just told you HR didn’t help her in her situation and your answer is to tell her that actually, she was helped and her silly little girl brain just didn’t realize it?
I know that you didn’t do it on purpose, but I implore you to do some self-reflection and start believing women when they speak of their struggles instead of dismissing them.
Seriously?
She said HR wanted to talk to her.
Maybe it didn't go well because she was labouring under the misconception that HR only protects the company and didn't understand that in this case it would be trivial to have their interests align with hers.
My comment has nothing to do with ignoring women. Your comment says a lot more about the plight of women than mine. Honestly, one of us really does need to engage in some self reflection.
That doesn't mean HR is staffed with intelligent people who will back up the smaller paycheck.
I work with a lot of HR staff and it amazes me at their lack of ability. Like don't know how to do incredibly basic things in excel, my job is to help with using our products, not very basic data manipulation from exported data.
If you wanted a very obscure one off data extract I might write a SQL script for that, but some requests are met by existing export tools and hiding a column or two in excel.
Are you saying HR will side with the guy making cup cake comments?
That's antithetical to the comment I replied to. It can't be both.
They literally did. Why are you disregarding her account and acting like this is some kind of hypothetical?
That's not what her account said at all. You're making up a narrative that doesn't exist.
No, that's literally what she said. Get some reading comprehension ffs. HR talked to her instead of the boss who made the rude comment. Read it as many times as you need...
Sorry mate all the comments in this thread are asserting different things.
The screen cap says HR spoke to her.
You're saying that means that they've taken the supervisors side.
That would expose the company to a legal claim, which is the antithesis of what every other comment here says HR is supposed to do.
No, I'm saying a dumb HR worker won't rattle the cage in which they sit.
How can they protect the company they work for if they can't stave off a cup cake law suit?
