HR at the MegaCorp I worked for was the most corrupt, unethical, immoral, organization I have ever dealt with in my life. There were many fine individuals there, but the policies pushed down from the top echelons were heinous.
The company - via HR - was pushing 'diversity' hard. Personally, I really don't care at all about the color, creed, gender, sexual preference, etc. of the people I work with - so long as they are capable of doing the job. But for HR, the ONLY thing that mattered was the list of diversity checkboxes a person brought to the company, and ability to do the job was barely an afterthought.
I personally witnessed flagrant Title VII violations on a regular basis: We had special 'red carpet' hiring events to which only women were invited, then extended offers without needing to go through the rigorous interview process, and were given immediate one-grade-level promotions before they walked in the door. Interviewers were asked to pick not the best candidate for any position, but instead to choose a candidate who simply 'met the qualifications' and satisfied the desired racial/gender profile. Global email was sent to employees advising them of upcoming training they would want to take to get up to speed with new directions the company was moving in, but some were told they would be last in line to take the training because of their race/gender. HR managers reviewed and revised the yearly employee valuations to ensure that those meeting the desired profiles were treated favorably. All of this had a certain amount of 'plausible deniability' baked into it, as most of these policies were passed down and enforced from HR via word of mouth only - they were smart enough not to put in writing things that were clearly unethical or illegal. I could go on, but you get the picture.
Because of HR policies and practices, I planned to bail on the company when I hit the company's retirement criteria. After 21 years of outstanding service to this company, and with 5 months to go before my retirement date (4 months of which were to be spent away on accrued vacation/sabbatical time) the company decided to lay me off as part of a RIF. Appeals to decency and fairness fell on deaf ears ("If we allow you to retire, we have to make exceptions for other people, too - we have to draw the line somewhere". I was stripped of my accrued time off, and all my retirement benefits which weren't protected by ERISA, and given 20 minutes to clean out my desk.
I honestly don't know how anyone in HR at that company can look themselves in the mirror.
So, I guess, "bad".
