I think you have given excellent advice for those that “blame” HR. As a start up guy I have seen too many times the CEO or others point at HR to deflect the attention from them. In every case, HR is just doing their job. Try to take the focus off of HR and think about what happened and why, it was either your doing or the companies, but typically never the fault of the HR person.

Wow, I just love reading these thoughts…
Fortunately I do not know why the word “HR” occures such negatively to almost everybody. Our HR people are really nice, I love talking to them. Probably because our aims are the same, I love working there, although I am at the bottom of the company ladder.
I guess, if everybody would see the office as an opportunity to educate and develop him/herself, there would be nothing to talk about here.
I do not think, that for larger corps who have HR personnel, money is such a big issue. I mean, if you do something good for the company, and they see, that you do it, simply because you want to do it, the revard will come. They won’t say they do not want you to cost more. Instead, perhaps there is nothing to pay more for, because you did just what you had to do.
At least, it works this way here. And I love it.

Yikes!
-Might be a job hopper? Either you are or you’re not. eh?Consider productivity and training costs—please.

-Don’t want to join the team? Perhaps self-employment is a better option for you. In most cases, customers and clients are alot harder to please than “the team”. Good luck.

-Whoever cares about what HR thinks is wasting their time? Wow. I think it would be useful. Either positive or negative; from a good or poor HR guy– Take it- Use it- Learn from it.

The loyalty issue is stickier, but know you DO have choices. The company you work for is looking out for their longevity and best interests. You should do the same.

Bottom line on all of this— put yourselves in the shoes of your employer— then honestly view the situation. Hope that helps you achieve balance in your views and make good decisions for yourselves.

Good response, HR Guy.

>>I realize that working for my company and doing a good job is in my best interest and I have been rewarded accordingly.
