Having been at HF since 2011 I have been witness to the ever changing environment or as the call it "culture". Up until 2014 culture was an unheard of term. For years I was my VP's beckon call - day in and day out, weekends, holidays and even vacation. From the top the company is poorly managed, whether it be as simple as the hiring process or or new product role out (I have one seen one go smoothly). The individuals responsible for operations or implementation/development are never held accountable, rather front line staff is demonized for the leaderships shortcomings and broken inferior IT systems. This hostile environment is not limited to Managers ( my equals at the time) or Directors, but extends to the COO; whom has made inappropriate comments to me, in front of co-workers, which were demeaning and derogatory---not to mention wrong and inaccurate.
Last but certainly not least, the HR Department. During HF's "desire" for culture change, the HR Department transformed by creating HR Business Partners (HRBP). These individuals are the sole link between your work group and HR, in theory GREAT. But not when these individuals are granted unlimited unchecked power. My former groups HRBP actions are/were reprehensible, deceptive, accusatory, intimidating and vengeful.
With these traits of the HRBP, in conjunction with my unblemished and exceptional personnel record/ annual reviews this HR "leader" terminated my employment with defaming and unverified accusations; which my superiors could not interject or stop this injustice as "it was out of their hands". In what organization does your Director or VP have no weight or input to this type of situation?
