Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 11 months agoI’ve literally never worked at a company where HR advocates for the workers. In 20 years, I haven’t seen it happen a single time.

The HR team at the company I work for absolutely advocates for me and my coworkers. Their job is to protect the company’s interests and the workers being empowered is in line with the company’s interests. A close friend and coworker had a PM try to deny her benefits (both PTO and insurance) and HR stepped in on her behalf and forced the company to give her what she was owed. The HR team is always available to answer questions about how insurance works and how to plan for retirement, plus they go out of their way to host a yearly Christmas party and other major events. The companies you worked at might have had bad HR teams, but that doesn’t mean every HR team is bad.

HR is to prevent liability, not to protect or advocate for workers. Sometimes those lines end up crossing, but it’s not the job of HR.

Nah I don’t need to. I work with HR all the time. I know what they’re about.

This totally goes against what people want to believe. It’s not being downvoted because it’s untrue, it’s being downvoted because the kids don’t like it.

You can paint a pig and call it your lover if you want but I know a pig when I see one.

And you can use anecdotal references to paint the real world however you want it you look, but I know reality when I see it.
