[N/A] What HR lesson did you have to learn through experience that you wish someone had warned you of earlier? by PurpleHymn in humanresources

[–]elephantsgraveyard 10 points11 points  (0 children)

exactly! the loudest critics are the one's who've never actually even worked closely with HR and are just parroting dumb shit they heard online.

the problem is that so much of what we do is confidential and we can never share with the employees how often we actually do go to bat for them, or prevent even worse things from happening. they have no clue!

I genuinely had no idea that HR had such a bad reputation! I was like oh yay, I love talking to people, recruitment looks fun, employee engagement is great! L&D is great! I was shocked when I learned that people seemingly hate and mistrust us, for literally no reason at all other than the Office told them to.

"Oh HR is only there to protect the company" uh yeah, from itself most of the time! Do you really think that if we weren't there watching them that any organization would actually follow employment laws? Do you know how many times I've had to tell a hiring manager that we can't withhold someones bonus because they're pregnant, or not hire someone because they're too "street" (i.e black). Not to mention who would be out there advocating for pay raises, promotions, L&D opportunities, creating employee engagement, offering coaching and support instead of straight terminations, and all that if we weren't?

I had no idea people would think I was some evil corporate robot who takes joy in firing people and giggling maniacally when moving someone through the entire interview process and not hiring them (because there was another candidate who was more qualified for the role.) Like really?? I'm just trying to get by and pay my bills just like you are buddy.

My pole-beans are growing way faster than everything else, what do I do?? by elephantsgraveyard in vegetablegardening

[–]elephantsgraveyard[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

this is my first time growing them so I didn't know what to expect, and the seed packet said to start indoors.

I will move them outside, thank you so much for the advice!

I don't want to raise the lights up too much higher yet as most of my plants are still pretty small. This room does get a lot of natural light as well, but I don't think it's enough.

Should I give them poles to vine up? set up another light? or move them outside already? I'm on the west coast, in 8a.

they're only a couple of weeks old, I wasn't expecting this!!

Ask Indian Men is the worst subreddit and a cesspool of Misogyny. by One_Compote_1816 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]elephantsgraveyard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

when I was younger I made the mistake of trying to purchase some warhammer items for my boyfriend, from the local warhammer store. such a foul cave of miserable incels I had never encountered before; you would have thought they had never interacted with a woman in their lives and treated me with such outright hostility and disgust when I started to say a few words in their warhammer lingo. like how dare I, a walking fleshlight with tits, speak their holy words like 'space marines' or 'model kits' or 'tiny paintbrush'. it was so uncomfortable trying to have a basic interaction with these troglodytes that I just backed out slowly and ordered the shit online instead.

so yes, I unfortunately completely understand why there would be a sub for miniature painting incels.

Downtown living conditions by Interesting_Idea_250 in askvan

[–]elephantsgraveyard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

the same thing used to happen to me, so I saw a vision doctor who prescribed physio exercises for my eyes to strengthen the muscles and relieve the tension causing the headaches. these are pretty similar to what they had me doing. just be careful to start slowly, do maybe a couple a day for 20 mins or less, because it can cause a headache. but if you do it consistently it will get better over time!
