Toxic and Abusive Management and HR vs Sanction of Employees

We should be able to speak the truth when asked why we left our last job

It is widely known and commonly accepted that most employees quit their jobs due to bad management and M.I.A or biased HR teams. Yet, it remains taboo to talk about it honestly and openly, especially during job interviews. This seems like gaslighting, victim blaming, and coercion to me. It forces the working class into silence and allows those in roles of power and authority to perpetuate the maltreatment of their employees.

I can’t help but feel we should turn that around. Being transparent about past employers and their foul management shouldn’t look bad on employees for voicing concerns about prior abuse. Reversely, this reality and dialogue of sometimes en masse experiences should speak volumes about those managers and HR teams that choose to do nothing to advocate for and protect employees.

While we all know HR is supposed to have both teams’ interests at heart, it is sadly skewed to the company’s benefit rather than being mutually beneficial to the company and its employees.

I will use my prior work experiences as examples of why we as employees should be able to expose abusive professionals freely.
