Frustrated With Your Job? Know Your Bottom Line

I have learned over 30 years to STAY AWAY FROM HR once you are hired. I used to go to HR for help. What I learned is that you might as well put whatever it is directly into your boss's inbox yourself. HR works for management. PERIOD. this is universal. Don't get in a snit- this is the way it is everywhere so stay away. If you hate your job, start looking. Getting angry and in trouble GIVES THEM THE POWER OVER YOU. So try to put a lid on it and do what you can to really help yourself. Keep quiet, look for another job if you really hate it there.
HR is NOT there to help you. If you do not realize that, you may have serious problems.
I learned this the very hard way. Hope you don't have to.

For me, the real reason for frustration is my company's Human Resource (HR) policies and the way, they treat employee. Every time I have interaction with HR, I feel to throw my resignation papers on their face. It feels that they never acknowledge people hard work and tries to manipulate policies to pay less and less to employee. They keep hiding policies which are more beneficial to employee.
I find my bosses have no control over the way the company HR works. Also, HR never cares whether the employee had really worked or not, the increments made are same (~ 2 to 3%) to every employee.
Though i like many of my colleagues and I have good friend, my interaction with HR makes me jump of the job asap.
