LinkedinLunatics

The stupidest HR thing I dealt with involved an employee who had genuine mental issues and he always had the “everyone is out to get me”. He was African American, and would play that card constantly. The thing was, our little lunch group had a black woman and she kept telling him to knock that shit off.

HR decided that since we were all white and he is playing the minority card, someone had to go to avoid the lawyer issue as he perceived a bias towards him. Then we get a call about how HR was very sorry, and then suddenly he stopped following us to lunch and taking pictures of us while eating.

Someone in HR did some digging before firing everyone saw that I was a combat veteran and it immediately became a battle of which protected class is more protected. Turns out the combat veteran was and his dumbass said something about “he is a veteran and I don’t like that!”

I hate HR because they were going to fire us over someone else stalking us, taking pictures, and making up stuff that no one could confirm. He eventually got the help he needed after a complete breakdown. Ran into him at the grocery store and he apologized for everything.
