Tell Us The Whistleblower Options In Your Country…because Hr Departments Suck
640views
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but: Corporate HR is *not* a department created for workers. The HR department is there to help protect corporations from legitimate worker complaints (see standardized example below). It’s past time we start blowing the proverbial whistle on these companies.
Yeah, they may write in the check/cheque memo: Oopsie, but reporting these grievances to the actual authorities – especially on publicly traded companies – may get them censured, and sometimes even divided or fully disbanded (if enough people file similar reports) – so instead of simply complaining on social media about the atrocities, let’s all take it to the authority closest to you.
Please post the regulatory/law agencies’ websites/complaint forms in your particular country/province/region, along with your harrowing corporate HR story, so the rest of us can know how we are empowered to make these reports.
Yeah, you’ve been here for 12 years, but you’re just not our cup of tea.

Learned the lesson the hard way. I had a weekend warrior supervisor (reserve national guard) that demanded that he be respected for his sacrifices (he never was deployed). Well I had some health issues and he belittled them. Then a coworker was suggesting that I try a medication that his wife uses for her PTSD. He flips his s**t and says I didn't serve and had no right to claim a warriors illness. I just ignored him. Unfortunately the rest of the team heard the remarks and a few confronted him. I got written up for not being a team player. I refuse to sign the write up and go to HR. He makes a stink saying I was trying to cause a mutiny and anyone who talks to HR would be written up too. So yeah he had a round table with the team and everyone had their own abuse story. HR then reviewed everyone's metrics that complained 5 fired immediately. I had literally passed out at my desk two weeks after that. He wrote me up for customer abuse for not letting the customer know I was leaving
So he used that as a reason to have hr purge me. He finished that rotation with only 3 of his team out of the 12. To this day I say screw you Verizon. Also Verizon was aware of my health problems had doctor statements but declined any work around as I had exhausted FMLA due to surgery and recovery

In Australia we have a fair work commission we can report to if the problems can't be solved in house.
I worked for mobil oil company. I learned early on that their HR representative was merely an ornament in place as a watchdog/puppet for management. I was a contractor there and was told by HR that I was not eligible/qualified to become a full-time employee. I want directly to the highest ranking person in the building and he hired me on the spot. Even after I was hired, I received a letter from mobile oil's HR department telling me they decided to go a different direction with the new hire. So of course, I Xerox the letter hand wrote on the back of it my employee number my phone number all my pertinent information and sent it back to them.
