I guess you haven’t seen the war between meeting project/product goals vs the HR woke crap. It’s like the employer is at war with itself and your heart/mind is the battlefield. Maintaining work ethic in the face of HR DEI / CRT … his newish and personal ethics come into play more and more. I think that’s what is being stated.
I wonder how the HR folks actually contribute to a company’s bottom line. They often seem to impede work rather than enhance it.
In the military, mission used to be everything. All personnel not directly working to accomplish it, should only exist to serve those that accomplish it. That overriding priority, making profit as a business or winning wars as the military, seems to be secondary these days.
If HR isn’t improving the bottom line, they are a drain. You can probably say the same thing about the “studies” degree graduates. How does someone with a feminist studies degree, for example, produce anything good?
