Thread regarding Staples Inc. layoffs

HR is useless

Everyone, realize that HR never has you in their best interest. They are only there to serve the interests of the company and its agenda and after that, they’ll probably be let go too. If you want to talk about s-xual harassment, look no further than your income and benefits corresponded to your labor when compared to the marketer value/average in your area for your position at other companies. When you realize this discrepancy, you will understand the sheer feeling of vulnerability. Stop lying to yourselves. They keep telling everyone “business as usual” and then lay off scores of talented people for cheaper, offshored resources from questionable conglomerates. If you think they care about you, you’re mistaken. The SLT and it’s new ownership will get rid of you and gut your department like a fish if it means saving expenses toward the bottom line just so they prove that model out and collect a nice bonus check after the fact. They don’t care about the long term or innovation that’s 5-10 years from now, all they care about is ROI. If you’re not looking elsewhere by now, you probably think corporate America still has a soul and to that I say look no further than their decision to go forward with an offshored company that’s under criminal investigation for syphoning 45% of American healthcare records from a previous partnership/integration with another company. This just goes to show the true decision making ability and thoughtfulness of the people at the top. It’s not a coincidence that Office Depot acquired an IT Services company for $1 billion soon after Staples announced layoffs in their IT/Operations departments. Follow the money, not the media.

HR trolls at Chevron are a particular group of brainwashed bullies, avoid them at all costs.

This applies to all companies that threat employees as an expense rather than an asset.
