Here's the twist... We show it. We show all of it. What's the major thing missing from these Star Wars movies guys? Full penetration.

No one is saying "don't talk to a lawyer, just watch this single YouTube video". It's like you are having an argument with yourself and just stating the obvious.

I think he made some decent points and gave some good information for people who have little to no working experience. That being said nothing he said should be news for people who have some working experience. Everyone knows not to trust HR (in most scenarios).

They can do both if it's in the company's interests but that's the best-case scenario.

I'm not sure what you are thinking if you believe HR fights for employees and not the company they work for.

I'm not sure what point you think you are making. He said that in the UK (or specifically in tech) HR "is awesome and fighting for the employees" when in fact they fight for the company and not the employees. They'll fight for the employees if it is in the company's best interest but that's it.

While he is indeed advertising himself, he is also not wrong.

Even in tech HR works for the company, not you. They care about their paycheck and the company's interests first and foremost. That doesn't mean they don't care about employee engagement and retention because that is also good for -again- the company.

Sorry but this is ridiculous. Dude had 1 negative experience, possibly because of drugs. That doesn't mean he can't have a drink once in a while lol
