So I've written on here in the past about my recent job where two supervisors tried to undermine my success. I was laid off from that job last July.

Then, I took a much higher paying job in Feb. Since then, my former CEO approached me about returning to my old job. I learned that both supervisors had been fired since I left. So he's offered me a job again, and I've accepted. He offered me more money than I had before.

At the time when all this was happening with those two supervisors, I complained to HR a few times. Issues were documented, and HR was on the alert.

Well, look what happened - they both got fired, and the CEO invited me back.

So, going to HR doesn't always prove to be a wrong move. Perhaps typically it is not the right move, but in my case and in another job, going to HR has proven to be highly beneficial. At least for me.
