Remember kids, HR is not your friend.
Nor are they a resource!
It’s you that is the resource.
Nor human

While the term “friend” may not precisely encapsulate the nature of our relationship, I am a member of Adobe’s Human Resources team. We strive to assist employees with work-related issues and provide legal protection when necessary. Our organizational culture fosters a positive relationship with employees and are more like a family than a friendship.
are more like a family
That’s also in the top ten red flags of management-speak. It’s also said to never be in a workplace position with family, and there’s a reason for that.
Was about to say, the above person’s comment sounds like pure HR/management speak, even got all the buzzwords…
Like most people know HR’s job is to keep the company out of legal trouble personnel-wise, whether that be to the people’s benefit or not - they don’t need to pretend they’re a bleeding heart looking after the employees, because they’d stab them in the back all the same.
HR is on your side when someone else has violated policy against you, especially when the action could be problematic for the company if ignored. That’s not being a friend or family, that’s them doing their job function.
Exactly. If you’re only on the employee’s side when you are obligated to be, that’s called just doing your job.
You’re running interference and damage control for a corporation, as much as you might believe the contrary.
Recruiter: Why is there a gap in your resume?
Me: Why has this position been hiring every month?
“I want to branch out and gain new experiences to broaden my skillset.” is the BS line I usually go with when I’m interviewing for a job outside my current specialty. Which has been every job I’ve interviewed for. Since my organization has rotation programs, it’s a well-accepted reason. Especially when the actual reason was “I’m fleeing a hostile takeover of my last department.” or “I gotta get the fuck out of Florida, it’s 2017.”
I tend to go for ‘you approached me, and this sounds interesting’
when I’m interviewing for a job outside my current specialty.
Actually jealous of you even getting an interview like this. Where I am, experience of less than a year is considered inadequate and candidates are usually ghosted without even getting any interview.
You could put any caption with this image, it’s just too funny
I’m looking to expand my network, and build synergies with new colleagues. I want to maximize our KPIs
How am I doing with the canned bullshit rhetoric? Did I get the job?
You forgot empowering the department
You’re getting good. Now you just need to sing this song in the interview.
“is this a new role or a backfill?”
“Yes”
“What are your expectations for salary for this position?” “What is the salary range for this position?”
What are your salary expectations?
