Reported Boss to HR

So here is my problem. I was hired into Walmart by Boss A as new member on a team that has same members for past 10 years. 1 month later Boss A was moved to another (much smaller project) and got Boss B (boss B had been with Walmart left and was brought back at Director level). I could tell he didn’t like me or perhaps just didn’t know me. So we have our weekly 1-1 in which he begins to offload on me saying things like oh I don’t see you as a good fit, I doubt you will stay here long, I wonder why they hired you, your tone of voice is aggravating etc. to me this came from left field as I am more quiet and don’t talk much. I told him on the call that I would be escalating this to HR as I believe it is unprofessional what he is doing. So I did that and HR did an investigation and said it was misunderstanding and my boss needs some training. Now I am stuck in this position and even regret reporting to HR (not sure why I did that). I now know I should have just left quietly after the incident. Sorry I just had to vent. I am currently looking and applying for roles.

Wow sorry to hear OP. Is it best to avoid HR unless there's sexual harassment then?

Even when you’re 100% in the right, HR will find a way to make you the problem. No matter what, they take sides with the managers. People who choose HR as a career are the most trash type of human.

Thought that was only for cases of senior execs. Didn't know they do that even for Directors

@GS - it's for any difference in the hierarchy. Whoever ranks higher is placated; whoever ranks lower is villainized.

I’m sorry this is happening to you. HR may not fix the situation but document every conversation with your boss, and look for another job asap. Hopefully you’re in a better position soon.
