Don't know what country you live in, but I worked in HR and I would've had the company's ass if they'd tried to fire me because I supported a co-worker. And that's why this generalization is so sucky. In my opinion generalization is one of mankind's worst diseases we have. So be terrific and be specific.
Yet this HR professional is generalizing about workers like they are crabs in a bucket. Hmmm.
Yes and she's an idiot for doing so. But just because someone else is doing the same thing, doesn't mean it justifies a response with just as much generalization.
The company often has more resources than you, and while many countries have strong support for their workers, it's not a golden bullet. It's still often a long and arduous process that would drive anyone insane.
Sure, maybe in your experience, you think you'd rake them over the coals in your imaginary scenario... but it's nowhere near clear cut in reality.
So don't presume to assume that your viewpoint is universal either.
