I have worked as an HR Manager for a CHRO who is the first HR Executive in the company’s existence and it’s clear. The bar was non-existent other than title matching when they were hired 2 years ago.
This leader has ignored or refused to implement simple, useful things from sending termination letters to investing in a compensation benchmarking tool outside of Google search. They frequently bully my teammates under her whenever they make a mistake. They talk disparagingly about employees in group calls. They apply rules and privileges inconsistently across their own team without any business justification other than their personal preference.
This year in particular they’ve made my life a living hell.
I have worked closely enough with peers in Employee Relations to know that I am being harassed. The issue is that I don’t know who to tell.
What do you do when the CHRO is one of the company’s largest liabilities?
UPDATE: Thanks everyone for the advice. Definitely searching for another role. Hopefully I’ll get to update this thread soon with an exit strategy.
