This video went up on Instagram last night and it attracted a group of people who seem to harbour bitterness toward their current or past HR experiences. It gave me a sleepless a night.
I spent the whole night thinking and reflecting about how about I wanted to write this post to promote the podcast alongside the video.
I wanted to be encouraging. I wanted to be motivating. I wanted to be a cheerleader.
But instead…
I felt angry. I felt frustrated. I felt sadness.
So, to the HR community out there, picture how you want to be seen. Act like the team you would want to work with.
Be helpful & Be cheerful.
Happy weekend, everyone. HR or not, remember to be so good that they can’t ignore you.
xoxoxo, AuntyHR

Great post, AuntyHR! Your honesty and vulnerability are so refreshing. It’s important to acknowledge and work through those difficult emotions. How do you typically navigate through anger, frustration, and sadness to find motivation and encouragement in your role in HR? Looking forward to your next inspiring post.
The fastest way was starring at my bank account. Whatever the amount was, it will keep me going >.<
Money, or the lack of it, is often a great motivator. My experience with HR caused me to change the acronym to Hardly Reasonable. The biggest issue I see with most HR departments is that they treat people as resources rather than as people. Thank you for your reply.
