‘HR quashed the employee’s raise': HR override manager who approves employee's request for 8% raise, employee quits, company crumbles

Tsk, tsk, questionable decisions are being made by management and HR all around the world at this very moment, and you never know the consequences it will bring… In this case, OP explained how he was going to 'jump ship' as soon as possible due to HR in his company, who were doing everything in their power to micromanage the company's employees to a ridiculous degree. An employee at OP's workplace who was working in IT asked for an 8% raise, showing their boss salaries in the area where people were getting a lot more for the same job. His manager and the higher-ups approved the request, and the CIO pushed it forward.

That was until HR stepped in. According to OP, HR said that the employee's pay rate was perfect and that they are going to veto the raise. Unfortunately, Hr had complete financial control over salaries above the CIO/IT higher-ups, so the employee in question would not be getting a raise after all. Scroll down to read what happened next.
