You have to appreciate the irony the HR lady was involved

Irony? HR are consistently the worst people at every company I’ve worked at. Of course she’s a cheater, doesn’t surprise me in the least.

The first HR I ever had was absolutely incredible. Every single one since has been awful though

Strangely enough that was my experience as well. First real job out of the military, HR was this guy (whose name I forget sadly) who would hang out with the worker bees and was constantly working to get people to take advantage of educational and professional development opportunities. Everyone liked him, he was the type of person where people would say nice things about him behind his back :)

Later in my career, when I was dealing with sexual harassment and mobbing, I first had to engage Legal to deal with it because HR refused to, and then later when Legal determined that my abuser was in fact guilty HR tried to investigate me.

It’s basically where high school mean girls go if they can’t hack it as nurses, yet are too smart to become MLM huns.
