A meeting with HR is not madness. No one got maimed or died, or even lost work, seemingly. Some people exchanged words.

Cool off.

It got mentioned for a reason. And obviously escalating with HR is a big deal as it comes with career risks for the person you are reporting. Risking someone else's career should be a last resort but seems to be more commonly a knee-jerk reaction with HR becoming weaponised.

The drawback of this is you lose good talent and keep rent-seekers instead.

Has HR been weaponized if the result was just a chat

The result does not change the intent.

		You don't know the intent and are going by partial information. All you have is the result but you infer a whole lot so it fits your framing. Someone called HR, HR met with the people and they chatted. That is all you have.

The only reason you want me to "cool off", is because you feel bad just interacting with somebody expressing a polite, strong opinion. Online. On the other side of the world. With text.

This is exactly the madness I'm talking about.

Case in point.

		No, your comment was potent nonsense. It raises no feelings in me other than contempt towards you personally. And me saying cool off is madness? You must live in a mad, mad world. Good luck going forward.
