My company (Truepill) grew too fast and was put on an appropriate hiring freeze. HR blocked any conversation of backfills, promotions, or salary adjustments. The pay block went so far as to block an obvious gender gap where two people are doing the exact same role but the female has a lower title and pay. I tried to address it with HR but they said nothing could happen. The company leadership realized we needed to pivot in a new direction and let go of +60 people. None of this is shocking or inappropriate.
What I'm challenged with is that less than a week after the layoffs all of the HR business partners were promoted to senior and their boss was promoted to VP. They also brought on a new Sr HRBP and then announced it to the company. They have been incredibly challenging to work with and refuse to talk about anything other than aligning staffing to the new direction.
Who do you talk to when HR isn't a safe space and your concern is the HR team/leadership?
