I have never not wanted to quit after an interaction with HR. Here's the latest:
I've been working remote since the beginning of the pandemic. My work gets done. My manager supports my argument that I have an immune compromised partner, and can't get her sick. There was no problem.
HR gets involved and won't buy the argument that they should accommodate me on behalf of my partner. "We wish we could help you," they lie "but the law blah blah blah."
So, I have my doctor write me an accommodation. HR proceeds to deliberately misunderstand, and sends menacing letters to me via registered mail. We go round a couple times, but I get the sense they're trying to bait me into demonstrating uncooperativeness in the process so they can fire me for cause.
The short of it is that I'm supposed to RTO next week. Needless to say, I'm looking for a job now.
I've had my current job for a pretty long time, and the part that I keep thinking about is how like as recently as a year ago I would have said it's the best place I ever worked. Yes, it's corpo stuff that doesn't matter, but the bosses seemed to really care about those of us doing work.
Boy did they have me fooled. Turns out they're just better liars.
