HR is so useless
23
I took a two-year career break after being laid off in early 2024 to focus on my mental and physical health. I’ve worked hard to get my life back on track and feel ready to return to tech. But the job market has me wondering if I’ve hurt my career by stepping away for so long. As a woman in tech, the anxiety is getting to me. I know I don’t want to be a housewife, I want to get back to work and rebuild my career. Did I mess up my future, or can I still make a comeback?
Feeling exhausted, low, hopeless. On top of that the guilt for not feeling grateful. feeling of hopelessness just sucks. Life here is just full of f constraints within which I feel I wasted my health,career, dedicated all good times to others for majority of the time. Feeling extremely empty, clueless, and lost. That’s my confession for today. Don’t ask what happened. If you experienced similar moment, how did you get out of it? Dumb question I know. Also, did you ever believe in higher power?
The day I realized that HR isn't there for the benefit of employees but to minimize risks & costs for the company, I felt like I had a much better understanding of the relationship and power dynamic between myself and the company.
My cousin recently told me I have no morals because I work in consulting. She’s in HR at an Amazon fulfillment center.
😂😂😂 Amazon warehouse HR be like hmm I wonder how high we can raise the temperature before people start passing out? Can we just give people adult diapers so they don't need to stop for bathroom breaks? If someone dies at work and there's nobody else around to see it, did it really happen on company property?
It’s kinda funny that this sentiment is universal. And by funny, I mean sad.
Bingo
You just also work at Accenture too 🤣🤣🤣
Whoa whoa, OP, can you elaborate on why you think my dept is useless?
