HR people are just a little different, they view everything in a "exposher" kind of way. Law and only the law.
Oh my wife is a Sr. HR Rep. / PHR
I've seen and heard it all. As you whinny employees complain about the HR peps, your just like people getting a speeding ticket. Ya hate cops for tickets....... but if some bad guy breaks into your house your calling the cops and can't wait to see them....... if your pay check, benefits or manager are F'd up your calling HR and all of a sudden you can't wait to see HR........

HR in my Hotel is pathetic, they demoted the as. Dir. of Housekeeping with out informing her nor the Director. The as. found out on the job posting and later inquired. They were like yah we demoted you just forgot to tell you.
I urged her to consult legal advice but she doesn't want to make waves. Shit she just took a 20G pay cut.
You know what's funny ... is you guys go home and complain about how stupid your HR department is and we go home and complain about our bonehead, whiny employees.
I guess we all gotta complain about something in life.
Also, as a side note - in all the HR departments I've worked in - decisions such as termiantion, demotion, promotion, hiring, etc... are made by both department management and HR. It's not like we have a crystal ball in our offices and sit back and try to determine who's life we can f-up that day...
I love my job - like Linda - I work with employees to resolve situations & make things better, because I'm an employee too and know how I would want to be treated.

Very well put.
If it wasn't for having an HR department, managers would die in just the personnel side of their jobs. I spend a good third of my time on just employee stuff just about every week. That does not include maintaining benefits, payroll, and other things like that. Not only that, HR can be the "boogie man" when you're a manager. If you are an problem or high maintenance employee, I just treat it as "once this issue get's to HR", it's out of my hands. Works out great, because most employees don't want to lose their positions. Just my .02.

Yeah, we are often made the scape goat by managers. Managers deflect the pressure they're feeling by their employees onto HR, "You know, normally I would give you another chance, but HR said I can't." or "You don't want me to go to HR with this issue do you?" or "Once HR gets involved, this will be come part of your "permanent" record".
I guess I take the good with the bad, and when the bad starts outweighing the good - it's time to change jobs!

I've noticed that trend myself. :sleeping:
How the hell are you Craig?

LOL, yeah I hear you. That was just the typical "every day" description of HR around here. There has been a few cases where there is legal gray areas and other more complicated issues where our HR manager just shined for me. Overall our HR manager is outstanding. I once had to fire a woman supervisor that worked for me. She had one arm and was believed to be gay. Imagine that walk in the park. Glad I had HR then. LOL
Welcome aboard BTW.

LOL about the woman supervisor. Triple protected classes are never fun - but sometimes the most necessary!! :-)
Thanks for the welcome too!

Even with her physical limitation she was still a very capable individual. She didn't mind getting her hands dirty (figure of speech). She jumped right into anything and everything. It was her outlook and mentality that was most detrimental.
