| Jul 10, 2019 at 19:01 | comment | added | SemiGeek | @Mars Perhaps better phrasing is “useless to the employee” vs. “not a friend”? I often find HR to be likable people and I think they want to help. In this case the advice was true, but really had no new information. It’s a perception issue. HR says, “you can come to us with anything.” Excepting fairly narrow scenarios outside of the mechanics of benefits, they generally can do nothing or in “opening a dialog” often make things worse. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 18:45 | comment | added | Julie in Austin | I'm so tired of the "HR isn't your friend!" trope. HR works for the company. If your beef is in the best interests of the company, HR can be your best buddy. What some people seem to believe is that HR is like the "police" and they can rat their boss (lead, co-workers, whoever stocks the office supplies and toilet paper ...) out to HR and get 'em good. Yeah, HR doesn't do that. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 4:37 | comment | added | Mars | Complaining about things in the team can be pretty toxic, depending on how and when. The team lead probably also isn't in a position to change OP's salary or the office. OP expressed their concerns at least once, got reasons, produced zero or inadequate solutions, and sounds as if they are still complaining. They basically got told to be part of the solution, not the problem. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 4:31 | comment | added | Sourav Ghosh | @Mars "We have had lots of discussion with the team lead and in the team and I have complained about some things (salary, office, team atmosphere, and so on)"...if complaining about things are being "toxic", then we all are toxic. There is a difference between complaining and nagging. | |
| Jul 10, 2019 at 4:17 | comment | added | Mars | Why does HR have to be the enemy here? (Not our friend). That sounded like pretty legit advice to give to a friend. "Complaining doesn't solve anything. Do something about it. Trying to fix things is an option, leaving is an option. Being a toxic (coworker or friend) is not an option" | |
