HR works for the company not the employee. HR's role is to protect the company. You people need to understand this , its so funny people thinking HR is someone looking out for the employee LOL
Reposted this from @XgZpKPq-xksw , as I find the OP to be 100% right.
at dell it roles follow these guidelines;
they do not "inspire" or "motivate", rather they "govern" and "control"
they are good at controlling technologists / techies, there's no place for well rounded business consultants
they do not care about employees
the sooner you understand this, the better your life will be at this company
dell is a "make money - american greed driven"; milk the cow dry, cut its pieces and make more money
customers are leaving in droves - most banks and large financial institutions are changing vendors; they do know what is going on.
It's true for the most part but I have seen HR flip on management and push for the employee. But it's rare. It requires a manager (or up) to be doing something really bad.
It is pretty much like that everywhere..
(Yawn)
