This is probably the dumbest thing I've ever read. I can't imagine paying someone to screw myself over.

HR with my employer is generally great. Very helpful to staff and management. Obviously they have to enforce company policies, which benefits the employer, but more often they’re resolving issues between employees.

Ask for their advice, obviously

My two tales of dealing with HR:

1. Black dude who was both a co-worker and a friend was being shit on by management. He complained to HR and I went in to back him up. This was supposed to be anonymous. Result? HR passed our complaint to management and they made life miserable for both of us until we quit. Fuck you, Beverly.
2. When I left a job I had been at for 6 years I had some money coming from untaken vacation and other payouts. When I got the check it was $2k short. I complained and complained and even made a trip back to that town to meet with the HR person who handled payroll. Result? Nothing, nada. Never got that money. Fuck you, Elizabeth.

Moral of the story - HR is either actively evil or totally incompetent.

I thought it was spot on. Basically protect the company at any cost. Throw any employee under the bus to resolve situations. What is missing?

Rope it or neck it usually implies hanging oneself. Horrible title.

I’ve had a lot of really good HR people in my working life.

The problem is that people go to them to solve all their problems and that is just not their job in most instances.

I'm from Ireland and hr is just as bad here.

Sounds about right.

HR is nothing more than an industry to promote itself.

Dispose of them properly. Recycle the bones.

At the peak of my career in Mental Health I was earning $58k, in a 5 person department including the Director. HR had twice as many staffers, all making more than me. Heck the chap who literally only kept the employee files and updated them as needed made $68k. The 'intake' person who literally only handled W2, W4, I9 hiring documents made $72k.

Meanwhile I was in charge of responding to behavioral outburst ie. Physical assault and deciding if the police needed to be called for further intervention.

Got to love the HR employees downvoting OP's post.

It will always vary. I guess to qualify I work in tech which I know is its own bubble really on how ahead of the curve it is in its practices and focus on employee engagement and retention.

Posted by someone who, no doubt, has any fucking clue about what HR actually does.

People are making money on youtube? no way!

I'm in the UK and have completely the opposite experience.

I’m in the UK and can second that usually our HR is awesome and fighting for the employees.

HR is usually awesome in Canada. We actually have rights and usually the HR reps are the ones telling us what those are when a manager is being shitty.

In the US corporations run the country and unfortunately HR is the one who has to take shit from stupid people because rich people have become terrific at getting them to hate the wrong person and blame one of their peers for their problems. Again, only a stupid ignorant person would blame the HR person who is just doing their job for a terrible company based on the laws of the shitty state in the country they're in.

Um maybe they don't want to date you but I happen to be quite the catch for hot moms in my area.

thanks a million OP

This is an attorney advertisement. As an employment lawyer that has represented employees and employers, take everything in this video with the grainiest of salts. And if you ever go to a YouTube channel and it has a gawking face with “how to get a $1,000,000 settlement” as a title to the video, you should be as suspicious as you are about the hot single moms in your area that want to date you.

I think it's a way of saying "go kill yourself" which seems a bit overdramatic

Too late. Already tied up 3 HR associates. What do I do now?

Maybe, "shut it"?

Guess you never roped it before
