    HR is not your friend. Do not go complain to HR. It will almost always bite you in the ass. They are there to protect the upper management and don’t give a fuck about doing the right thing

      Depends. I’ve thought of it as a way to document for a lawsuit, especially if they don’t fix a real problem.

      Correct. HR is not your friend and they are there to make sure that the company is not liable for any damages. If you are in the rare position where upper management is not your opponent and whatever shit is happening can float up to them, then HR can be used as a weapon.

      Entirely dependant on the company culture, and the legal protections for workers. It isnt that simple.

        The only reason HR would ever protect you is if not protecting you would be more damaging to the company. HR protects the company.

    Good. I’m tired of these BS jobs that have rules to act like they’re in compliance. Then do the crap where they use peer pressure to have you give it up “voluntarily”.
