    HR isn’t your friend but when I had a lead harass me on the job last year they delt with it because of they didn’t I could sue. An email with the subject line “hostile work environment complaint” told them my problem was now legally their problem. Give kids those smart rights and make school administration have the legal duty to protect students and failure to do so causes personal liability

      If you want HR on your side, frame the issue as one that will leave a company liable or put them in legal jeopardy.

      HR may not be your friend, but they aren’t your direct enemy, either.

        HR exists to protect the company, but a good head of HR knows the easiest way to do that is to treat your employees well.

        Hell, the HR people I know spend most of their time stopping the company from doing illegal bullshit.

          HR can be made to do what’s right if you notify them that not doing so exposes the company to a lawsuit
