    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

          “I wanted it documented so if she is involved in another incident, this one can be referenced”

      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.

          On the flip side, corporations are people and have more privileges than you
