🚫 Don’t go to HR if you are harassed 🚫
Have you ever felt uncomfortable or experienced harassment in the workplace? It can be a difficult situation to navigate, but going to HR may not always be the best solution. Here’s why:
– Going to HR gives the company a headstart on protecting themselves
– Sometimes HR may not take your concerns seriously or may even try to downplay them
Instead, consider getting a lawyer and blindside the company with legal action. This could provide a more effective way to address the issue and protect your rights.

Exactly. Fuck HR. They’re just like the school system here in the U.S. reward the aggressor and punish the victims.
HR is to protect the company not you lol. Yes getting a lawyer is generally the correct approach as well as exploring other opportunities
This. All of this. Had to learn this the hard way.
Oh yes, FUCK HR!!!! They will make it so much worse.
But in most cases you can’t afford a lawyer.
My brother in christ can’t afford one despite all the problems happening to him.
I think it depends what your intent is. Some people might be happy going to HR because they don’t want to make a lawsuit.
Calls to a lawyer are free. Many work on a contingency basis.

True words of wisdom!
HR is not there to protect you, they’re there to protect the company FROM YOU.
You need to go to HR at some point because a part of the company’s liability to sexual harassment is that they need to be aware of it and then not do anything or retaliate. But yea talking to a lawyer will be a great resource at any stage of the process.
Yup…..had a coworker being harassed abused and full out just pushed around, and my manager and boss wouldn’t do anything…..she took me aside in tears to tell me what was going on, I was just a coworker but has been there close to twenty years, and she trusted me..
I took her up to HR, and explained the situation, manager gets brought up, and he hears the complaints and looks at me and says
“So what does this have to do with you then?”
I explained that I had been witnessing it, telling you about it and you’ve done nothing about it, so I’m hopeful that HR will..
They really did nothing, and the abusers finally pushed her too far, and she wound up yelling at one of them and yelling about pushing her back…and since she was still in her few months probation period they let her go due to that outburst…I was pissed, they fired the victim because it was easier and in their eyes solves their problem….
No longer there myself…
Completely accurate this is why everything you hear from the company stresses going to HR
