@nixCraft I think that HR should be your friend. When you can't go to HR for problems,or they don't support you, it might be an indication that the company reads "resource" as "consumable" rather than "asset" (in the positive meaning of the word). I've probably been lucky, but in the past, I've always had great colleagues at HR. We sometimes disagreed (they usually push back when you want/discuss a raise 😅), but it was always respectful.
