So I was messaged by a staffer not long ago, as he'd heard I have "negative opinions" about HR and was curious what I thought. Thankfully he wasn't trying to figure out what this seditious little member had to say for herself, and seemed genuinely interested in making the forum experience better for members.
I told him that HR is far more concerned with avoiding conflict than with honesty, and that I hate it. It doesn't matter if I make well-thought-out comments, if I offer potential solutions to whatever problems I point out, and if I avoid personal insults. If someone doesn't like what I'm saying... I've hurt them. If they're hurt, I attacked them.
I don't like this.
At least I could tell him that I didn't feel anymore like I was treated differently than other members.
I'm beginning to doubt it yet again. I swear, if the RP at this site wasn't so good I would never put up with their staff and the sneaky passive-aggressive behavior they encourage in members. As it is, I think I'm just going to start ignoring some of the staffers' pet members in chat. Perhaps if I don't have to interact with them I won't have to keep swallowing the urge to *gasp* be honest with them. That would only get me in trouble.
