'HR is NOT your friend': Fresh out of college employee confides in HR and ends up getting fired

No matter how nice they are, do not trust HR...

 

This employee learned that the hard way. Even if the company seems like the most welcoming, open, honest company in the world, it's still a company and HR still serves a purpose. That purpose is not to serve you, but to serve the company. This thread was posted on Reddit's r/antiwork subreddit by u/Fake-mustache, who shared an anecdote about a fresh-out-of-school worker who was already struggling but who they were hoping would improve and perform better with time. The employee was put on a PIP for the last quarter and later went out for drinks with "Clive" from HR, eventually telling Clive that they had a job interview elsewhere recently. Clive quickly took this information to the CEO, and the rest of the story unfolds as you would imagine. Keep scrolling below for the original post!
