Some HR people take a sort of counselor role in some businesses.

But you can't forget, unless you are signing that person's paycheck, they're not on your side.

And when you ask them to take your side over the employer's, you're asking them to put their career on the line.

And that's just not going to happen.

So I'm not saying HR is evil.

I'm not saying they're necessarily out to

get you all the time, although that happens, but they're not your friend.

You are your friend, and you need to figure out how to advocate for yourself and not trust HR to do it for you.

That's what their job is.

And by the way, for anyone who says I go a little hard on HR, remember where I come from.

I'm a worker's rights lawyer.

By the time

I'm in a deposition with an HR rep, something has gone terribly wrong.

I typically end up going against people who did cross a line.

You know, I'm not saying all people do that.

And I would note for the record that my little sister is a HR executive and I love her very much.

And we have wonderful conversations at family events.

It's pretty funny because she'll be like, hey, Ryan, just let a guy go.

And here's what's going on.

And I'll be like, OK, off the record, here's how you do that the right way, you know, so that no one's rights are violated.
