Handling workplace complaints for a previous employer

manpreet Best Answer 2 years ago

About a year ago I moved on from a job where I was an executive. Since then, I've kept in touch with some of the employees there. They tell me about all of the great things they are accomplishing, and some of the silly things they have to muddle their way through.

Then I am told about things that didn't happen while I was there, things I would consider serious. For example, discrimination. Those that have spoken to me about it sometimes mention it casually, other times they ask me for advice. My go to answer is they need to go to HR and have the company investigate it.

How should I handle these types of inquiries? I'd dislike shutting them out completely, but I also don't feel it is my place to be handling these kinds of issues. I also don't feel it is my place to reach out to HR directly myself.

It's not your place to href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/try">try and rectify their href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/problems">problems on the limited knowledge they're giving you. Or at all for that matter.

I keep in touch with many people and hear a lot of href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/things">things. I disregard anything I can't use for my own advantage in some way as hearsay. I certainly won't get involved in their href="https://forum.tuteehub.com/tag/problems">problems at their workplace. Your stock answer of 'go to HR' is about as far as I would get involved.
