I don't know who needs to hear this, but: Corporate HR is *not* a department created for workers. The HR department is there to help protect corporations from legitimate worker complaints (see standardized example below). It's past time we start blowing the proverbial whistle on these companies.
Yeah, they may write in the check/cheque memo: Oopsie, but reporting these grievances to the actual authorities - especially on publicly traded companies - may get them censured, and sometimes even divided or fully disbanded (if enough people file similar reports) - so instead of simply complaining on social media about the atrocities, let's all take it to the authority closest to you.
Please post the regulatory/law agencies' websites/complaint forms in your particular country/province/region, along with your harrowing corporate HR story, so the rest of us can know how we are empowered to make these reports.
Yeah, you've been here for 12 years, but you're just not our cup of tea.
