“HR is here to protect the company, not the employees." - Sarah Brock "The people who must never have power are the humorless. To impossible certainties of rectitude they ally tedium and uniformity." - Christopher Hitchens Bullies have little humor & can't laugh at themselves. #protect #employees #humor #laugh #power #leadersarentbullies #HealthyWorkplaces #leaderselevatethoughtandconduct #equality #psycholigicalsafetyatworkact #speakout  Most bullies know they won’t be punished, and corrupt HR associates and managers tolerate bullying environments, understanding their role is to protect the company, management, and HR. Targeted employees now know they have little legal precedent or leverage to protect themselves.
