According to my H, many companies have bad IT processes in place, and for a variety of reasons (understanding the big picture/job security) are resistant to streamling the way things are done. He had to learn to let it lie.
I have always been leery of complaining to HR. Most will tell those in power what you said, even if they should keep it confidential. Lesson learned.  Try to make the best of it and put it behind you.  |
Thank you!
Though I thought HR was also involved in employee relations, and that if you have an issue at work, that you can talk to HR about it? Our HR dept is just one person, and therefore, is a generalist.
I went to HR because my boss was out of the office all morning, and I was completely strung out and overwrought at the time.
I was practically in tears when I talked to her. I needed someone to talk to, and I thought HR is partially there in existence to support company employees when there's a problem at work.
