A lot of people out there think that the human resources department will help protect the interest of the workers or employees.
But remember who is paying the salary of the human resources department it’s the company and not the worker.
The human resources department is a “for show” they will help here and there in minor situations but when the to complain is against the higher-up position in the company the Human resources immediately becomes the enemy of the implicated employee.
Here is one example
My friend got harassed by her boss as her colleague passed the hotel room key to him while my friend was drunk at a company retreat.
My friend rejected his advances for promotion and reported to HR.
HR then fired my friend for a made-up reason. That is very unfair and it’s an MNC.
Here are what netizens think:
- should really expose such scummy companies on social media.
- Pretty sure that would be illegal or borderline illegal. If this was in the last 6 years, you might consider following this up. Not a lawyer, but this doesn’t sound legal.
- You think HR will risk a wrongful dismissal arh. Unless it is a small company without proper HR policy.
- Well it sounds bad, but we are missing out a lot of the details that could change the big picture. But at the same time this kind of thing should more than just a disciplinary action from HR. This should easily become a police case and a very very expensive law suit.
- Don’t do naughty stuff with your colleagues unless you like to roll your dice, or you are as rich and powerful as your boss.
