Gregory's Server@doctormo @TSindelar It’s amazing how many people don’t understand that the HR Department’s job is to protect the company.

@TSindelar I think that many people who work in HR want to help employees as much as they can, but their primary role is to protect the company and that takes precedent. @Geoffairey Yes exactly: there are times when individual HR reps will do things that are good for employees (and therefore longterm good for the company by complying with the law, improving morale and retention etc). But that doesn't mean you should *trust* them per se, because at any point there may be a real conflict between good-for-employee vs good-for-company and ultimately their job security relies on them doing what's best for the company. |
@Geoffairey i think HR can be disingenuous about their role which confuses a lot of people new to the workplace
