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."

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I know it was just a typo but I'm going to start calling people "stoog" from now on

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 months ago

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.

For *, you despise HR, those fucking corpo muppets that will attempt to stab you in the back at every opportunity.

Remember rule of acquisition #48:

The bigger the smile, the sharper the knife.

Never forget, HR is your enemy.

20% is the going rate, or 10% if you work at a buffet.

Why is she listing responsibilities of HR and asking us to feel grateful about them? Why do they act self-important?

[–] [email protected] 64 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The HR industry exists so that an entire subset of the workforce is dedicated to protecting corporate interests from the workforce

They're like "gays for Republicans" who don't get why everyone seems to hate them

[–] [email protected] 18 points 4 months ago (1 children)

What’s funny is that no one wants to be in HR, it’s just that’s where they end up and they have to play it like it was not them settling for what they can get.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago

Same with insurance

It may be the stilted writing. "Approach to" is as dumb as "as big of a".

Who the heck makes inquiries with HR prior to leaving a job?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 4 months ago

Morons, who play right into the hands of HR!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago

The only times anyone should talk to HR is when they are hired for a job and when they leave a job and you don't talk to HR until you're actually leaving. Not when you're thinking about it. When you are ready to walk out the door, and you have another employment offer or you are retiring. Never before then.

"Waiving the notice period" my ass. It's wild to me how this idea that it's required to give notice when you're quitting a job is so ingrained in society.

It's a courtesy you can extend if you want to ease the transition for the company or leave on good terms, but it is absolutely not required.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 4 months ago (9 children)

I think in many countries it’s codified by law.

But hear this: the employer needs to give notice too. Crazy right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

In Italy it's required by your contract, but you no longer need HR fortunately, there's a dedicated website, and yes employer notice MUST be the same as the employee one...

Under at will employment, neither side is required to give notice before ending the employment.

Is HR in the room with us right now?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 4 months ago

It's safe to bully HR. Who are they going to call? HR?

[–] [email protected] 34 points 4 months ago

I've got a feeling she is HR

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

Every job I’ve had HR is filled with complete idiots. I will always make fun of HR

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (1 children)

I work in corporate I.T and HR frequently tell us to delete user accounts only for us to then get calls from users who don't understand why their accounts are being deleted. This happens five or six times a year. I don't understand how they can think people are leaving when they're not. It's not even like they were on maternity leave or something, they are just plugging away, doing their jobs without issue, and then HR randomly decided they quit.

You have to be a special kind of moron to work in HR, a simple lack of intelligence just doesn't cut it, you need to be able to not only make a mountain out of a mole hill, but make a mountain out of completely flat terrain.

For when you want to watch someone go fuck themselves...

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 months ago

People a re starting to catch on that HR isn't some neutral arbitrator but really just corporate goons who will back stab you.

I guess this lack of trust is starting to get to them.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I've never made fun of hr, never seen a reason to. Also I have the feeling, that they've very much my health in mind and are on my side more than the employer.

But I live neither in the USA nor India, so different rules, different culture.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Maybe reconsider whether the department that calls you a resource exists for your benefit, regardless of your nation of residence.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Surely they have their own dystopian capitalist modus operandi, but just as a factoid:

HR is actually called Personalabteilung in my language (personnel department) and I am personnel.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

Reasonable name for a society that doesn't consider workers objects. That was actually the most common name for it in America before neoliberalism started neoliberaling.

What is “fast reliving”? Some kind of necromantic spell??

What's an experience certificate?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 4 months ago (3 children)

IIUC there is a system in India to prevent people from working two jobs, which is that you need to present some paper that you get in your current job that certifies you left to get employed at the next one.

It's ghoulish if you ask me.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 months ago (4 children)

Capitalism always finds a way to make things just a little worse than anything you’d have come up with on your own. This is such garbage.

It is I who often changes my behavior as per need? I know these words, just not a disorder
