Someone works in HR and is tired of rightly being called out for being a corporate stoog who will always side against the employee...
"Am I out of touch? No, it's the employees who are wrong."
I know it was just a typo but I'm going to start calling people "stoog" from now on
Lmao
DON'T BE A STOOG
If someone spends 95% of their day helping some people, and 5% hurting others, it can be hard for them to separate the two. It's a purposeful, systemic issue driven from the top down in more than just HR. Law enforcement, middle management, even insurance to an extent.
Business leaders need to step up to take responsibility for their teams before anything in HR will change. This is why I like small companies.
Insurance is more than “to some extent”. Insurance companies are there to make a profit and protect as much of their gross revenue as possible (not just US health insurance either). The more they give back to customers as claims, the less they have for market investment, or just straight CEO pay and shareholder dividends. One possible exception for non-profit insurance companies, but they are pretty rare (unless you’re in Florida and the state insurance is all that’s left).
I wasn't talking about the companies themselves, but the employees within them, to an extent.
