Comment on HR people smiling at you thinking that you are a complete moron
grrgyle@slrpnk.net 21 hours agoYeah this matches my experience. HR person is always the one to have a bottle of whisky squirreled away for a good time.
I’ve been let go twice. It’s shitty, but I realise they have very little power in a situation like that.

This is why I have so far refused to be a people manager. I'm not going to be able to emotionally handle laying someone off.

Same, I couldn’t take it. It’s hard to be in that position without feeling like a traitor.
Actually both times I got laid off my managers took the day off to hide while HR did their wetwork, only reaching out later to gush about how bad they felt.
Kind of cowardly tbh, but I get it—that’s why we aren’t managers.
