Anyone here with knowledge of HR law? Our Accountant who has also been handling HR for the firm has decided his workload is insane (and it is) so he has formed an HR "Committee" to handle personnel issues. How this works has not been explained to us, but I believe if someone sends an email about workplace issues it gets forwarded to this committee. Committee members are my coworkers -- some are VPs, and not even very "senior" VPs at that. Some are company Directors. I find this an odd situation. What's to prevent someone on that committee from leveraging their "membership" to get their way around the office. The whole plan stinks, imo. Just wonder if it's even legal.

HR is a tool of those in power, as long as the decisions they make are LEGAL then there is no problem. HR is not there to help you, it's not a democracy. The decisions they make will always benefit the company and the people running the company, not necessarily you.

Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. I guess they'll find out if it saved them money by then, let alone paying their VPs to sit and argue in yet another meeting. I think it's nuts.

But, they'll probably all end up deciding there is room in the budget after all to at least outsource HR, after they all learn to hate being on the HR committee LOL.
