    Don’t get it twisted - they only intervened because it would be a bad look if word got out. HR exists to protect the company, not the individual employees

      Well, it exists to smooth over friction between staff in order to maximize profits.

      Sometimes that means telling a middle-manager to stfu. Sometimes it means pulling up a bunch of bullshit to justify a firing “with cause”. Sometimes it just means putting down a notice of events in a registry that nobody will ever read, on the off chance it needs to be recalled in an employment lawsuit.

      Boy did I learn that the hard way. My hr also was my manager and I discussed too many details of my life during shifts. She moved me to a different store.
