>>212889881First interaction with HR for me was when my contract job changed to permanent position. While signing the contract the HR was being a cunt, but thankfully my bossman was in the signing and demanded that the contract would be changed on the spot for higher engineering grade.
So take note, even if it breaks your soul to be a disgusting yes -man suckup to your bossman, that groveling has a good chance to pay dividends later.
Still felt dirty, and I don't think I can ever wash that stain out of my manliness. Well other than now when I've become lazy and they can't fire me easily because I'm not lazy in agitation department and know that union has my back.
