'Don't food shame me or I'll go to HR': Top 20 Mildly Infuriating HR Fiascos

Working in the human resources department means you have likely seen some things no professional wishes to see. Perhaps you love managing teams of employees and making sure they are taken care of day in and day out. However, we know all too well at this point that working in HR means you are protecting the company at all costs. The employees? Sure, you may care about their well-being a little bit but only to a certain extent. At the end of the day, your job is not really about protecting them but more about making sure they all fall in line.

Of course, there are exceptions to this scenario and perhaps this is the more cynical take on the modern work environment. That being said, if these mildly infuriating tales serve as justification for anything, it's that this cynical take certainly holds some merit in the vast majority of toxic workplaces.
