    Depending on the company/the department, it’s also a goal to avoid legal trouble. Which can sometimes benefit the employee, but if HR is acting in your benefit there’s a decent chance you could have sued the company

      That’s mostly a US thing though I think? Over here in Europe the concept of suing your company is practically non-existent. Your recourse is through the legal system regardless of any HR actions.

        America uses lawsuits because there is no legal system around workers rights. Best we can do is sue for damages and hope there is something left over after lawyer fees.
