    You know what sucks? For all the employees there, including HR, they would definitely sympathize with the person pulling this.

    The people at the top however? CEOs and whatnot? They wouldn’t fucking care. I don’t even think they would have an ounce of sympathy.

    That’s the reality.

        Correct. They are there to manage the company’s human resources. They’re not there to help us. It’s in the name of their title. The company perceives people as nothing but another resource to exploit.

          You are implying people choose to work in HR because they are heartless corporate bootlickers who like crushing people’s lives, and not because, idk, it’s a job they get paid to do

            That’s not what I’m implying. Lots of us have to do stuff for our paychecks that we wouldn’t do otherwise. HR people seem to be pretty cool to me. HR departments and policies are not there to help you, they’re there to protect the company’s resources.

            Well if they have a problem with it why are they doing it?

              Do you enjoy everything about your job? I certainly don’t love everything about my job. I have to break bad news to a lot of people and it sucks.

              But it’s a job that needs to be done, and I’m good at it. There’s satisfaction in doing something well, even if it’s something that’s unpleasant.

                No, I don’t always enjoy my job but I sure as hell did not sell my soul and only exist to fuck over my fellow workers.

        Exactly. Humans are funny, irrational beings. We feel these things like sympathy super strongly when we see another person suffering.

        Without the direct sight though, we don’t feel it.

        So maybe the CEO would if he was there, but chances are he isn’t so he doesn’t.

        It’s a big part about why it’s not what you know but who you know that’s so important in life.

      I wonder why it’s like that? After all they’re the same raw material - human.

      It must be because upper management is culled, is screened, for selecting heartlessness and ruthlessness, and the lack of sympathy.
