Employee gets written up by HR for posting about disliking Mondays on personal social media account: 'Someone in the office is creeping on my social media' There are a number of reasons why HR might reprimand you for something… but this seems a bit far-fetched. Here, we have an employee who, like any other twenty-something employee in the 2020s, has a personal social media account where they post photos with friends and the occasional relatable memes. This past weekend, the employee shared a relatively benign photo of their friend group grabbing drinks on a Saturday night. There was nothing inappropriate documented that could come back to bite the… View List
- - Comments 'I'm not allowed to talk about turtles anymore': 20+ Employees who had HR step in for the silliest reasons Doing human resources work isn't always serious. Sometimes, it can be very funny, as the people of the internet will tell you! Though they're sometimes known as the company boogeyman, the human resources department is sometimes needed to step in and sort out employee relations. They have a broad range of job duties, from managing an office to hiring and firing to mediating employee disputes. This can result in some awkwardness at times. As these HR professionals can tell you, it can be very awk… View List

'They are requiring that I pay them back about $4500': Former boss forgot to stop paying employee, HR requires ex-employee to pay them back Former employers always have a fun way of popping back into your life. In this case, it began as a happy accident and ultimately turned into a frustrating nuisance. This Redditor had notified his former employers that he was still getting paid well after his departure from the company. The boss apologized and said he would inform human resources, and the payments would stop moving forward. Obviously, this was a noble act on the part of the original poster (OP), who could have just stayed silent… View List
- - Comments 'If it's not in writing, it didn't happen': Micromanager tries to schedule meeting with employee after hours, gets HR involved, employee fires back with receipts Being asked to stay late for more work is always a tricky situation. The truth of the matter is, despite any social pressures that might infer otherwise, there needs to be a legitimate incentive for the employee who has been asked to stay late to justify the practice. If not, the employee has every right to decline said request. In fact, even if there is such an incentive, they should still have the right to decline, as working late is not expressly part of their contract. Here, we have a worke… View List
- - Comments 'Mass malicious compliance': New HR manager stops employees from their morning routines, entire office stops working extra hours The new HR person at this company had a funny idea for getting people into the office on time. This worker, u/KiKi_BTW, shared that when they worked at an otherwise “awesome company,” a new HR person interrupted the flow of things. A lot of the workers would bike to the job each day. It can be a great way to commute: you get your daily exercise in, save money on gas, and it's good for the environment, too. But adults get pretty sweaty when they work out, and a lot of offices accommodate this by… View List

HR refuses to give developer raise by downplaying their work, forced to eat their words when their software stops working It's common knowledge that you'll often never be appreciated for your job when things are going well—or even great. Your boss and employer assume your high performance is just a given and merit to their management rather than a credit to your own talent and efforts. But, as soon as something goes wrong, they won't blame themselves, even though that will make the most sense based on their logic. No, they'll suddenly come around asking questions, trying to figure out what went wrong, and looking… View List

More specifically, her boss just cannot let her take any time off without bugging her constantly! Some managers are so obsessed with keeping their workplace running that they start treating the workers like they're robots instead of human beings. Robots never need a break, but humans do. Robots have no feelings, but people can be bothered by incessant demands from their bosses . That's why many companies provide… View List

Perhaps you love managing teams of employees and making sure they are taken care of day in and day out. However, we know all too well at this point that working in HR means you are protecting the company at all costs. The employees? Sure, you may care about their well-being a little bit but only to a certain extent. At the end of the day, your job is not really about protecting them b… View List

HR person incorrectly calculates 10% raise underpaying employee, confidently shares their incorrect equation when challenged: 'This was their response...' “Math is important.” “You're going to use this one day, so you'd better pay attention.” Welcome to today's edition of “Is your employer smarter than a 5th grader…” These are things we were told in school, and it's clear some people didn't listen. That's all well and good; it's not like you're actually going to use differential equations in your everyday life, but it stands to reason that having a base understanding of the way the world works or even having the ability to accept that there are t… View List

You can look online for any number of how-to's and resume templates. But these recruiters and HR workers gave some surprisingly candid answers when asked about the red flags that give them pause while they're shuffling through resumes. Back when I was last job hunting a few years ago, I kept coming across this one strange tip to fill your resume with keywords. The tip advised to write a bunch of strong buzzwords, then put them in the smallest size fo… View List
- - Comments HR Manager demands IT employee automate system to approve all requests, accidentally exposing sensitive data: 'That decision was automated away by your request' Change is inevitable, no matter how we try to escape it or ignore it by burying our heads in the sand. The thing is, change is also pain, as whenever something new is to be learned, there is always going to be a process of failure and adaption and a loss of the comfortable and familiar, which is why people might try to avoid change in the first place. We can then conclude that, by associative properties “change is inevitable” and “change is pain” can just be simplified to “pain is inevitable”—b… View List

This worker was an employee of a large corporate entity tasked with training employees and managers alike.… View List

'[I] went for another technicality': Employee maliciously complies with HR's photo request When you're right, you're right. If you can bend the rules without breaking them, it's your prerogative to try! U/The-Oncoming-Storm has run into the same dilemma that lots of employees these days face: how do you choose a good headshot photo for your workplace? Some folks choose to get professional headshots , especially actors and those in other performing arts careers. But for the rest of us, paying hundreds for a headshot for work isn't feasible. Instead, you'll need to choose a nice selfie… View List
- - Comments Boss declines pregnant employee's requests for accommodation a week before her due date, HR steps in and grants her leave immediately It's often said that HR is never on your side, but is merely there to maintain an equilibrium that will prevent the organization from opening itself to vulnerability or liability. They are there to manage the “human” resources of the company, and—well, that's you . Still, in instances where you're dealing with someone in the organization—be it a boss, coworker, or other party—who is so incredibly off base with their actions or reasoning, then it just makes sense to go to HR and help them see yo… View List
