I was trying to think the other day if I know someone who has not been bullied in his or her lifetime. Nope. Seems everyone I know -- whether they were harassed on the playground or in the workplace -- has been the target of a bully.

So, hate is a strong word, and of course your HR manager doesn’t hate you. You are a model employee. But, your coworkers–that’s a different story. Your HR manager most likely hates them. The reasons are quite plain–HR is tasked with both helping the business through recruiting, retaining and developing the best employees and with making sure the company is in compliance with hundreds, if not thousands, of laws and regulations around those employees.
