I’m 99.9% sure it’s a specific person who’s doing it just to be petty and I am so fucking irritated that someone would narc on me to HR for being on my phone during work just because I didn’t take kindly to them talking down to me like a dog when going over paperwork mistakes with me a few weeks back
I talked discreetly with someone I can trust about it and they were pretty shocked that I said they had reported they felt “unsafe,” when multiple people who know me describe me as a teddy bear. It was pretty gut-wrenching to think someone feels unsafe around me because of misunderstanding me because I’ve been through that before, but the more I think about it the more I feel like someone is trying to weaponize the HR process against me because they don’t like me.
Just another reason for me to get the fuck out of this shit job
There will always be a need for resolving interpersonal conflicts in workplaces. HR though predominantly exists to protect the company from any liability and secondly to maintain the hierarchy and retain the labor it values the most.
Conflict resolution under socialism could be much more humanistic, focused on actually resolving the conflicts and getting the best outcomes for workers. However nothing will ever be perfect, sometimes conflicts will not be resolvable, the truth of circumstances unknowable or some people truly indispensable so I imagine there will still be instances where justice is not accomplished. Though under socialism at least you would not be as dependent on your job just to be allowed to exist and therefore considerably more free to hit the bricks if shit sucks.
Those are possibilities but we can only speculate on what form a future society might take. It might structurally resemble existing HR only with mediators and investigators whose interests are more aligned with the workers rather than with capital, it could be a completely different thing born from entirely new social conditions that we can’t imagine.
