Can I go to HR about my boss?

Can I go to HR about my boss?

Can I go to HR about my boss? Of course, you can and you must. If you have a problem with your boss, the HR department can act as a mediator to help resolve the conflict.  However, you need to understand that the HR department is not there to protect you.  The HR department’s sole function is to protect the employer at all costs.  Many employees believe the HR department is there to protect them, which is false. The only person to protect you is yourself and an employment lawyer.  Complaining to HR does help build a case of retaliation in the event you receive a performance improvement plan or notice of termination after complaining.  If you complain first, any immediate and negative employment action can be viewed as retaliation the easiest of all claims to prove under any context.
