Episode Synopsis

On This Episode: When you think about Human Resources, you might imagine a friendly team making sure everyone gets along at work. But the truth is that it ain't smooth and steady as we like to believe. Given their reputation as a sanctuary for workers, there's still plenty of workers all around that really do feel like they're on their own. There are many employers that still take advantage of their staff in ways that seem unfair, like paying them too little, making them work long hours, or forcing them to work in unsafe places. And sometimes, it’s not obvious how bad things can get like when paychecks are delayed or workers are denied their benefits. Other times, the situation is much worse, involving threats or lies, and in some cases, even physical danger. But unfortunately, human resources that claim their purpose is to protect the workers aren’t doing exactly that or that may actually land the workers who put their faith in them in a much worse situation. It's a "circling the drain" predicament that leaves people open to mistreatment and abuse. And it paints the reality that many workplaces still have issues where profits come first and the people who signal for help and justice just get left in the dirt instead.Connect with UsProudly Hosted by RedCircle: https://www.redcircle.com/tylersgrimremindersSubstack: https://tylersgrimreminders.substack.com/If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform.
