Thanks for the great post! So I have this situation that I'd like to share with you guys. What if your manager is not that nice and the HR management is in favor with that manager. I am about to resign and I am afraid that they will put bad things on my record (certificate of employment) just like what they did to my former colleagues. The company's environment is the worst and there is no career growth there. Totally no reason for me to stay. The manager uses delaying tactics so that you will not be able to finish rendering your knowledge transfer (even if you did, just because he/she is not there he want to repeat the knowledge transfer) ending up not signing your clearance and the thing is HR management is OK with that even if you have sufficient evidence that you did. What would be the best move? I have 2 months resignation period to fulfill, 1 month to give them time to find a guy to take my place and 1 month to render knowledge transfer. I planned to resign in advance even though I am not that active on searching for a new career opportunity because of that to overly long resignation period. I really do not know what to do. I just want to leave the company with out any hassle. I am still building my foundations and I am not getting any experiences related to what I see my self a couple of years from now. help

There is no one in HR who can protect you against backlash?

In my own experience, I came across more than my fair share of HR departments where their primary function was to protect the company first, and only as an after thought protect the employees.
As soon as I recognized those kinds of companies I would run to the hills and stay as far away from them as possible, since in my own personal opinion HR is the only real lifeline employees have in a bigger company.

Long story short. The HR manager is somehow related with our manager so yeah that's why.

Unfortunately, no one. They're so bias in favor of the manager(family friend). HR management will make you feel that they are on your side but no. haha! Anyway I'll be submitting my resignation letter today and that's the best option I have. Thanks Emma!
