[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Talk to the VP.  HR's job is to protect the company from lawsuits, not help employees.  They cannot and will not help with your situation.[/quote]

I am in HR and this the statement above is inaccurate in every job I have worked. We advise management on how to avoid discrimination or unlawful termination, but avoiding a suit itsn't the focus. Also - I am primarily held accountable for retention and morale. Bad managers are at the top of my list of things to resolve as they are the number 1 reason good employee leave! That said, I know not all HR departments are the same. I have several examples of situations like yours from throughout my career. In most cases, the bad manager was terminated - but usually not as fast as the direct report would like. So I would say go to HR but start looking.[/quote]

Lies, lies and more lies

HR is corrupt in every industry and as an HR employee, you know it[/quote]

They either know it's BS, or are young and drank the Kool Aid.  HR is for people who like to kiss management a$$, and also for those who like to exercise petty power.  It's very funny on that rare occasion that they get called out for having no real power to do anything.[/quote]
