HR hates me. Straight up. Openly rude emails, evading questions about benefits, purposefully spelling my name wrong in emails, and actively saying hey "fuck you". It's so bad that I'm worried about layoffs. My team loves me. All the seniors would vouch for me. But if there is headcount reduction, does HR pick names based off of recommendations (the most logical thing) or is it whoever they choose. Sorry it sounds dumb I'm just nervous.

Lol what did you do to them? They said “fuck you?”
Lol yeah no way they are cussing him out
it's a figure of speech. when they are using "fuck you" corporate lingo you get the message. no they aren't saying that. I didn't do anything. I asked questions and they wouldn't answer basic questions so I pushed them saying hey my check is late it's not good enough for you to say you are trying to work on it.
HR cant do shit - chill young jedi
that's what I'm hoping for. thanks Obi Wan
HR doesn't have a single say in layoffs, they're just paper pushers. Keep impressing your team, and keep giving the middle finger to BO roles
Make sure you're prepared for HR to run a fade on you
biggest asset is HR in your pocket
