    Correct. They are there to manage the company’s human resources. They’re not there to help us. It’s in the name of their title. The company perceives people as nothing but another resource to exploit.

      You are implying people choose to work in HR because they are heartless corporate bootlickers who like crushing people’s lives, and not because, idk, it’s a job they get paid to do

        That’s not what I’m implying. Lots of us have to do stuff for our paychecks that we wouldn’t do otherwise. HR people seem to be pretty cool to me. HR departments and policies are not there to help you, they’re there to protect the company’s resources.

          Do you enjoy everything about your job? I certainly don’t love everything about my job. I have to break bad news to a lot of people and it sucks.

          But it’s a job that needs to be done, and I’m good at it. There’s satisfaction in doing something well, even if it’s something that’s unpleasant.

            No, I don’t always enjoy my job but I sure as hell did not sell my soul and only exist to fuck over my fellow workers.
