[05:59] schestowitz[TR2] I understand HR job is protect company first, this is how business work. But there is no protection for little guy employee. If you are not important, nobody listen. Some of these cover-up are really too much. One day the pile become too big to hide in the dark anymore. Truth have way of coming out, even after many years. When that day come, many people will ask why nobody do anything when they had the chance.
