| Aug 7, 2023 at 15:04 | comment | added | Barmar | @StephanKolassa "may" is the key word there. There's no one whose job is to be your ally, in the way that HR's job is to be the company's ally. | |
| Aug 7, 2023 at 15:01 | comment | added | Stephan Kolassa | @Barmar: that is correct. You may have allies, which is something different. A manager that understands you hold key expert knowledge, which the manager needs to achieve his targets, may well be an ally. | |
| Aug 7, 2023 at 14:50 | comment | added | Barmar | @StephanKolassa "friend" is being used metaphorically to mean someone who is expected to act on your side in the case of a conflict. So if you don't have a union rep, the implication is that you're on your own -- you have no friends in company management. | |
| Aug 7, 2023 at 7:31 | comment | added | Stephan Kolassa | @Barmar: your friends are your friends. Your family may be your friends. Some of your coworkers may be your friends. | |

| Jul 3, 2019 at 20:50 | comment | added | Barmar | If HR is not your friend, who is? If you're a union member, I suppose they should be, but what about non-union employees? | |
