    A coworker drunkenly made out with my face at a work event and HR tried to send me to a sexually harassment seminar so I could “learn what sexually assault really is”

    Another great quote from that meeting: “if you knew she was a sloppy drunk, why were you hanging out with her?”

    HR is there to protect the company - not you

        It was crazy. What made it worse was that I didn’t even report it…my friend was so upset about it, he told his boss.

        When the HR director asked me what I wanted to happen to the girl, I told her NOTHING. I don’t want her fired or anything, I don’t even work directly with her. Then she asked why, if I didn’t want anything to happen, I reported it? BITCH I DIDN’T I was going to find a new job and move the fuck on with my life

      That last line is the key take-away for dealing with ANY HR.

      Never forget who signs their paychecks.

        Yes. The acronym stands for Human Resources and it’d be a stretch to think they consider us human!

        Jokes aside, I actually really liked most of the leadership at that company. I really only disliked the CEO and HR director.
