Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

I think a lot of HR people fall victim to the thinking that if you just work hard enough and have good enough ideas you can change the system from within, and then they become the system
Yes, but it also definitely extends past HR.
It only takes a year or so on the job before they cover up egregious things by management and make workers distraught via discipline and firings. The apparent "true believers" are mostly just putting on a show with fake smiles and enthusiasm and if it is in a larger meeting the true audience for this is management, showing off how well they can manipulate the workers (even if they are, in reality, failing to do this).
