I filed a complaint with HR against my horrible manager last December and never received a response. I followed and still heard nothing.
Last week, during my 1:1 with him, I told him I had tolerated enough and confronted him about favoritism, dishonesty, improper practices, and unethical behavior. A couple of days later, HR suddenly scheduled a private meeting on my calendar.
In that meeting, they told me not to discuss the matter with anyone and said the investigation was about my interaction with my manager that happened on Monday. When I asked why no one ever reviewed the complaint I submitted four months ago, they gave vague excuses. I then pointed out that the same HR representative interviewing me now was the one assigned for the case I opened months ago...Because I’m not in management, they ignored my complaint. HR is useless...

I went to HR with a complaint.
HR contacted my Country Manager.
Country Manager contacted my Department Manager.
Department Manager contacted my Supervisor.
My Supervisor instructed me to retract my statement to HR and he would help me do damage control to salvage my career.
HR protected EM by threatening employee.
You can see how dysfunctional is HR from the hiring process
HR is the most useless department in each company hopefully they will be replaced by AI
Always go to a lawyer first; that’s the only way HR will actually investigate versus covering it up.
LAWYER UP!!!
You're a mo--n if you ever thought HR is there to help you rather than protect corporate interests in the HR space.
Great time to remind people to start building a paper trail. Document times and situation that you think are important to your situation so that you can go to an employment lawyer to make your case. DO not expect HR to take your side and do all the work. They work for the company, not you.
The OP should be talking to a lawyer already. They are free and don't get paid unless you win
Yea document. But correct hr is not for any of us. Only the company and LT.
Ugh oh, I think you're on the shorter end of the stick. Expect to take the blame and be ready to be let go anytime.
I can tell you that after almost 30 yrs here at this cr-p hole... HR is not for the employees, they are for the company, you will soon find this out.... my advice to anyone that's not to far in.... get out , don't be miserable, life is way to short. Not the same company it used to be to be.
I told you I don't like you.
Your manager will be reassigned and you will be PIP'd / NSI'd unless you have voice and video of the incident(s). If you do have voice/video, the company knows that you can sue in federal and/or state court if they do not take action on s-xual harassment allegations.
@OP kudos to you for having the backbone to speak up but I think you know your manager will take revenge and it will affect your ranking
Good luck! Like in all other cases, you will have to take the fall.
