Julie Garner was great in this. It's definitely an uncomfortable film and I could see why many people thought it was 'boring' without really understanding what it was trying to achieve.
I've never had a HR I trusted. Once I was made to apologize to the canteen lady when I went to order a sandwich ten minutes into the lunch break (I was so hungry!) and there was none left and I said 'ah, bugger, a shame you don't make enough so this doesn't happen' - I couldn't believe I was brought to heel like this. I'd been complaining about being bullied in my department for years and nothing being done about it. It made me VERY jaded about HR.
I apologized to the canteen lady but I still felt she could have done her job properly and made sure there was enough sandwiches to feed the people who needed to be fed to do their jobs. Lol sorry for this rambling response. Triggered 😜
You’re not rambling at all, that experience would frustrate anybody. HR can be so selective about what they care about, and the fact that they ignored years of bullying but made you apologize over a sandwich is honestly ridiculous.
