I was just wondering if anybody here had dealings with the HR? I'm in a really tough position right now and going to HR could either help solve the issue or put a huge target on my back.
It'd be helpful to know if somebody already had any dealings with them, to know if I should do anything or just continue to take the abuse for as long as I can (which, in all honesty, I'm not sure how much longer will be).
If they have hr looking out for Sf they are screwed. Haven’t seen intelligence in hr for years.
HR works only for SF. They will only get involve to help if there is a significant issue that puts SF at risk.
Same for the hotline. Those people are also compensated by and send reports to SF. Please think through your actions.
HR is pretty worthless. Nothing is confidential you tell them. Seek an alternative avenue.
I called HR after hearing a Claim Rep tell her girlfriend that her and her male supervisor “had an agreement”. They were conoodling and the Claim Rep was getting rewarded (that was obvious). HR did not even investigate. I was told to notify my direct supervisor and work through the chain of command (my direct supervisor was biased toward the girlfriend who was told). This woman had no claims experience, was new to the organization, and was a brick shy of a full load. She’s now a supervisor in the call center. Knowing how my report was handled or lack there of I would go back through Code of Conduct or get an attorney. Bypass the BS.
There was a collector in the bank (downtown Bloomington, IL location) that was having an affair with her married supervisor whose wife worked in another area of SF. One evening we were all working late when the wife arrives on our floor and confronts the collector who was working. It was a huge scene. The superior/subordinate affair was reported to HR numerous times and nothing was done. It wasn’t until the confrontation that SF fired all three (collector/other woman, supervisor, and his wife). What’s crazier is a couple years later the collector started going by her middle name (same last name & SS#) and was rehired by the Bank Loan Center in St. Louis. How ridiculous is that? She still works there. HR does not do their due diligence when they hire people nor will they do anything about violations until push comes to shove. Go through the Code of Conduct line. If that doesn’t rectify what’s going on seek out advice from an attorney. Best wishes.
The previous post sounds like a bunch of BS...s-xual harassment IS something that will get you fired, or at the very least, demoted.
A coworker reported s-xual harassment to HR and nothing was done. They wouldn't even move her desk away from the person harassing her. She ended up quitting. I wouldn't trust HR
Yes, I did go through HR for something but had a ton of documentation so the only thing they could do was back me up. However, agree with the previous post HR's existence is to keep the company and mgt protected i.e. make sure they don't screw things up and do very little for employees.
Code of conduct line does get the ball rolling fast. I had to use it also and it was fast. It is very serious so if you think it is a code of conduct issue, contact them. The person will call you to talk about it and discuss. Make sure it is a code of conduct issue.
Yeah, I got a campaign ribbon from there. If you don’t leave by the same door you went in then you are up the proverbial creek in a chickenwire boat.
Get yourself a lawyer
If you’re a guy, don’t shave and wear a sundress, it might help
If you haven’t kept a paper trail, you might as well leave. HR serves to protect the employer, not the employee. Treat them like the Fight Club insurance company (what’s the NPV of letting a bunch of people sue after someone dies vs issuing a recall).
Doesn’t hurt to consult an attorney, employment law, normally will do free phone consult. I wish I had
Agreed. Code of Conduct is at least an outside firm. HR (IMHO) is more worried about representing the company than the employee.
Not me but a co-worker. It’s better to go through the code of conduct line. Depending on what it is you can report it anonymously as a witness. They investigate it then have action taken. My co-worker talked to HR who let her management know and things got worse. Once it got reported and investigated through the code of conduct line there was action taken. Good luck to you.
