I left the organization do to all the unethical things myself and my other HR coworkers were forced to do by senior leadership such as fire someone because they simply don't like them, laying employees off by the flip of a coin because they were to lazy, forced to hire someones child who is unqualified, overlooking the right person for a merit increase or a promotion. Firing the employee and not their supervisor who is clearly the one who is the problem. Nepotism. Employees dating/getting married who are direct reports and giving them preferential treatment. The list goes on....
Please leave while you can as the Reduction in Force (RIFs) are only going to continue for the coming years.

Raises, promotions etc were heavily subjective.

It’s truly odd to get let go After 30 years and 100% file quality in the Claim department
Isn't odd that the majority of the people that were put in the Leadership Development Program were attractive women........ and those that ended up with permanent jobs after their rotations were attractive women......... and most were put in positions over employees that had more experience and knowledge who were going for the same roles.......... I think we all know what was going on here, very clear favoritism.
I was there a fair amount of time to see it all and it's been happening longer than I was there.
How long did you work in Hr and how long has things like that been going on for?
