You’re a terrible person. And yes it WILL be for good reason that you get banned, at least you have that level of self awareness

On top of that, the concept of HR as a pure compliance function is deeply outdated (or only applies to tiny organizations). Any organization that isn’t using its HR function to better compete for, reward, and develop employees is missing out on talent.

LOL. Imagine how pathetic it would be for an American to be posting about European work practices with the level of fervor you are. You're living on the other side of the world but we live rent-free in your head. Seek therapy.

Soooooo… you’re telling people in HR to kill themselves? That’s the kinda comment I’d report to HR.

Yes

That got dark real quick.

God damn. Where is the worker protection in the US? I work for a rather large company in Norway, and stuff like this just wouldn't fly.

If you're good at selling then you can make more money selling nothing than you can if you're not good at selling and sell something valuable.

I’ve been privileged enough to never have a serious HR issue at work, but I will say that they’re good for benefits & pay questions.

Making a living by intentionally fucking over people using underhanded practises so that the company who pays them that loving doesn't have to shell out a few extra dollars or change in the slightest

Yeah if I get banned it'll be for a good reason

Call your state employment department. Ask how to file a complaint. They. Will. Not. Fuck. Around. They will pursue that company to the end of the earth. Even if the company goes out of business, they usually go right after the owner personally. They will not let go until you are paid, and the owner will soon learn NEVER to withhold from a final paycheck. Ever.

There are also state laws about how soon they have to send your last paycheck. $1 short and they just violated that law. Include a statement in your complaint that they are now in violation of that law.

That's a part of serving and protecting the employer. Most HR employees immediately get super defensive when you point out there role is to mitigated legal liability to the company they work for and not the employees of that company.

Some HR employees may be delusional and believe the serve some "greater good", but I think a good bit are bad actors who know that the job is meant to keep the working man down. Human Resource departments don't like it when you begin to examine things closer.

None of them, but Reddit is full of programmers who all hate HR so it’s cool to think that Hr has any control over department size 😂

Hope you get banned from Reddit for telling people to kill themselves for trying to make a living

Those sales guys don’t care about you they care about the company and their pay check.

Those maintenance guys don’t care about you they care about the company and their pay check.

It’s almost like that’s how everyone functions under capitalism.

What the heck kind of HR dept makes financial decisions? That company is all sorts of messed up.

Am I the only one here that likes my HR?

While he is indeed advertising himself, he is also not wrong.

I'm not from the US I'm from EU and hr is still a shit hole

Even in tech HR works for the company, not you. They care about their paycheck and the company's interests first and foremost. That doesn't mean they don't care about employee engagement and retention because that is also good for -again- the company.

HR represents the interests of the company, not your interests. Idk why you would even go there. They’re there to protect the company.

Saltiest of grains

I love how every post on here complaining about HR when the issue is actually US's awful and basically inexistant labor laws and practices. Why should a company and therefore HR go above and beyond for you when nothing forces them to and costs a bunch of money.

You are definitely American
