Human resources is there to protect the company from lawsuits and to whitewash it’s image just enough to keep outside applicants from running away before they’re locked into a job there. Companies have also figured out how to turn HR into a “punching bag” for employee frustrations. In other words; it’s a place for employees to bring complaints without resulting in any meaningful change. It keeps workers frustrated and disorganized. But please understand that I’m not hating on all HR workers. Most of them are stuck in a tight spot like the rest of us. My point here is that if you want to change anything within your workplace, you have to do it collectively with your fellow workers. Don’t settle for anything less.
