HR protect the company first, the employees second.

[-] Elw@lemmy.sdf.org 28 points 1 year ago

100%. The rebranding of some HR departments as "People Officers" or "People Team" drives me bonkers. When push comes to shove, they will always protect the interests of the business before the interests of the employee. Full stop.

You are right, but to be fair. "Human Ressources" was an awful name to begin with.

[-] Elw@lemmy.sdf.org 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah, neither is great. Needs to be called something like "Employee Business Relations" maybe?

Company interest workers?

[-] NoSleep@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, that sounds way better!

Hello fellow resource, uh i mean human.

[-] Bandananaan@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Just remember what hr stands for. You are a resource. No more than a stapler, that can be replaced at any time

[-] MummifiedClient5000@feddit.dk 10 points 1 year ago

Well, sure. Unless you're talking about a red Swingline. I can't compete with that.

There's a reason they're called "Human Resources" and not Human Relations.
