Pros
I thank the one person in HR for giving out payroll monthly consistently.
Cons
Ironically, the HR department here is the most toxic workplace I've ever worked in. The lack of regular meetings or any form of formal communication channels between employees and a far-removed boss creates a culture of covert hostility, backstabbing, distrust about whether new hires are doing their jobs, lack of formalised channels to communicate work progress, no constructive feedback when actually doing work, only wayang to boss during meetings.
Boss also has no incentives to care about formalising any type of sustainable workstreams/communication channels between people since everyone is easily dispensable and can rehire fresh people to do the menial tasks. By the books, HR is supposed to support employee welfare, manage conflicts, or any other workplace private concerns. But the politics that plays out in this department here is so ironic, to the extent it's almost morbidly funny and deserves to be used as a case study. Only people who have worked in here before will know the stories.
Luckily I'm dispensable so I don't have much to handover once I leave. God bless the next person they hire for this.
