It sounds like some gray area here. I’ve made decisions like yours when I’ve reached my breaking point... I’ve spoken up and rocked the boat and it’s very uncomfortable at first. That said, I do not trust HR and I do not trust company policies - in my experience HR is there to protect the company and company policies are only to protect the company. Often I’ve experienced pressure to go against policy in order to get the work done meanwhile management is loudly proclaiming we must all follow policy. I guess my point is that everything the company does is to protect them and NOT you. So sometimes you’ve got to rock the boat but definitely pick your battles. You’ll feel uncomfortable about this for a while but it will work itself out in time I think. My personal goal is to learn to step back from work pressures. I would do a lot less rocking of the boat if I just didn’t care. I keep trying to draw boundaries and just accept what I can’t control but it’s very hard to do. Best of luck. It will be ok.
