3 Things To Never Tell HR (And Why)

adminBy adminOctober 25, 2023No Comments3 Mins Read

Let’s get one thing straight — HR folks are good, friendly people and want to help you. But because of the nature of their role, HR willl never be your “friend.” As harsh as that sounds, HR is there primarily to protect the company, which is why there are specific topics I would advise you not to tell HR, speaking as a former recruiter and HR manager.

But don’t get me wrong, HR is not on a witch hunt, actively looking for your faults. They are just doing their job which is to look out for the company’s best interest. Check out this video to learn the top 3 things you should never tell HR.

Problems With Your Manager

When it comes to bringing up issues with your manager, it’s crucial to tread lightly. I understand it’s frustrating and we want to vent to someone to make things better, but rarely will talking to HR actually make it better. If anything, it can make it worse because HR may be required to tell your manager about the feedback you’ve given them.

Instead of talking to HR, I recommend finding mentors in the company who can help you navigate your situation. You should also try to focus on specific incidents and maybe even suggest potential solutions. This approach can make it easier for HR to assist you, and it keeps the atmosphere positive for everyone involved.

Wanting To Switch Teams

Sharing your desire to switch teams can be a bit tricky. Same as the previous point, it’s better to talk to someone who is closer to the action — maybe your current manager or potential manager.

It’s also good to take a moment to think about why you want to switch teams. Is it because you’ve lost interest in your current role, had some disagreements with colleagues, or maybe your skills aren’t being put to good use? Sharing these well-thought-out reasons with your manager and HR will definitely improve your chances of a successful team switch.

Remember, HR is here to help, but they’re not referees in internal team disagreements.

Thinking of Quitting Your Job

This may be the worst one of them all. Never tell HR you are thinking of quitting unless you have made up your decision and are ready to do it! I have seen this backfire on many people and I don’t want you to go through the same.

Before you head straight to HR with this, consider other options. Try talking to your manager, discussing your career goals, or seeking professional development. Ultimately, it’s best to talk to the person who will be directly impacted by your resignation, which is your manager.

Approach these conversations constructively, provide well-thought-out explanations, and seek solutions together. By doing this, not only will you benefit from HR’s help, but you’ll also contribute to a workplace that’s more pleasant and efficient for everyone. Good luck, my friend!
