Don’t complain or go to HR for anything. Going to HR will only ruin your career and get you on a black list

I went to HR once when I felt threatened in a work meeting. I'll never do it again because I wasn't believed. I learned then how things work. You either need to have substantial evidence or just keep your mouth shut.
"We need Octane style layoffs. HR gets cut by 90%. Everyone VP and above gets shown the door. Then the stock will run. Money will flow to engineers, motivation will go through the roof. Also cut finance by 50%. They are bloated beyond belief. Also make sure whoever went to Maui gets shown the door."
This is like some sort of dream.
Sleazy skilless bankers and bureaucrats are driving engineering now
(right into the ground) and we all see it.
When a female got haraassed by a man in higher position, the man set up a trap with HR to blame the female employee as the one who wanted to approach him. HR of course didn't do an investigation into this, just blamed the female employee, but the HR award winning leader dared to look down on her. Then the HR leader went to an event, made sure she was at the front welcoming all the SVP's, VP's with her sycophantic and a-s kissing smiles.
HR Human Rubbish
go/speakup
Even if HR does not side with you, file complaint about wrongdoing. That will create pressure on HR, and in relatively medium term, the bad apple will be laid off or fired.
Never expect HR to do anything other than protect the company. A former employee has proof of misconduct by her former manager and is taking no action because she doesn’t want Qualcomm ruining her future. Her former manger has far more enemies than friends, but to protect QC, HR would take his side to avoid a large pay out.

True with every company.
With larger companies, HR only implements plans devised by outside consultants.
Agreed. HR's sole reason they exist is to protect the company. Nothing else.
