FamilyProblems #HRMeddling #WorkLifeBalance
Hey everyone 👋,
Dealing with family drama is tough enough, but what do you do when it spills over into your work life? 🤔 Here’s a scenario: You moved out to escape a toxic situation at home, but now your HR is getting involved in your family affairs without your consent. 😬
Here are some tips to navigate this tricky situation and ask HR to stop meddling in your personal life:
- Schedule a Meeting: Request a private meeting with HR to discuss your concerns calmly and professionally.
- Set Boundaries: Clearly communicate that you do not want your personal matters discussed at work.
- Explain Your Situation: Share the reasons why you cannot disclose your new contact information for safety reasons.
- Request Confidentiality: Ask HR to respect your privacy and keep your discussions confidential.
- Seek Support: Consider seeking support from a therapist or counselor to help you cope with the stress of this situation.
Remember, it’s important to address this issue sooner rather than later to prevent further interference in your personal life. Stay strong and advocate for your own boundaries! 💪 #SelfCare #SettingBoundaries #WorkplaceEtiquette

Just tell him to stop answering and replying to your mother. Tell them you don’t want to be in contact with her.
Where are you located? If it’s Turkey, I have no understanding of the laws there, but you can try bringing this up to your own manager and ask them to help you solve this. Perhaps your manager can help you talk to the HR person’s manager. It’s distracting you from your job, in addition to being very inappropriate.
There is no way to deal with this in which the HR person won’t be upset. You can refuse to respond to the HR person and that may cause them to become bored with this. Stop responding to their messages or answering their calls.
If you want to avoid conflict then maybe next time tell him you appreciate that he’s trying to look out for you, but he can be rest assured that you already have a great support system in place and you’d like to keep your work and home life separate. If he does it again, then remind him of the above.
ie go for the ‘ermegosh thanks soooooo much for your help, but you really don’t need to worry about me’.
Why is your mother calling your HR? That is a huge breech of boundaries. So inappropriate. They should have nicked it straight from first contact. This is a personal issue and has nothing to do with your work performance. The most I would do is offer my employee some EAP and that is that.
If your work I affected, that’s a different conversation.
