HR is there for the company, not the employee. -----Original Message----- From: Cameron Childress [mailto:camer...@gmail.com] Sent: Friday, August 20, 2010 7:04 AM To: cf-community Subject: Re: Workplace bullying or mobbing
Out of curiosity, did you contact the HR department of your company? This isn't mentioned at all in your post so it's unclear if you attempted to do so. Unions are not the first line of defense for this sort of thing and neither is quitting your job. Contacting HR would be my first step. Alot of (bigger) companies have very paranoid HR departments who live for this sort of complaint. -Cameron On Fri, Aug 20, 2010 at 12:23 AM, trish simon <trishsimo...@gmail.com> wrote: > This is very real!
