tldr I got a survival factory job back in November. 2 weeks into my employment I networked with the head of IT and got his personal email and phone number.

Then I applied for the company's IT jobs since I use to be a software developer. Before everything went to hell.

well 3 days ago I did some research and learned from a rumor that a certain HR lady was starting some ecommerce business.

so after my 3rd shift factory job I went to the hr office. There was a line to get to her so I started a conversation with another hr lady and asked who is the hr person for IT. She refused to tell me and somehow knew about the meeting I had with the head of it. And attempted to gas light me into saying that HR helped me get that meeting. When in reality I simply asked the guy for the meeting on linkedin. I told her no no she did not help me and that I did not like what she was attempting to do and ended the conversation.

After that I talked to the hr lady and offered her to make her a website if she could help me get a better chance of getting a it job. Something that I would normally charge someone like $300.

She said she could not do it. I said darn and thanked her for her time.

Went to bed and got woken up by a pissed off 40 year old karen bitch who I was warned by multiple people about that she is indeed a bitch. Yelling at me saying that I am being investigated for corruption for offering a "bribe" including software.

The best you can do is plead ignorance and hope they don't ruin your life. Sorry man. Shit's fucked.

Now that you are mentally prepared for the worst, try to come up with some good ideas on what to do if you immediately lose your income and home. A short-time loan to keep your home in temporary absence of income? Get an autism diagnosis and apply for neetbux? Know anyone who can temporarily house you or safely keep belongings you can't carry while living in your car (if you have a car and don't live anywhere winterly)?

Hang in there. Your worries are related to money, that's not worth killing yourself over. I'm rooting for you.

You see, it's like gift-giving, or general generosity. If you give your friend a lavish gift for their birthday and warmly congratulate them, chances are, they'll probably remember you and make an effort for your own birthday. If your friend needs to crash on your couch and you let them no strings attached, then next year if you urgently need to borrow $2000 he'll be more inclined to lend it no strings attached.
But if you say to your friend "I can give you such-and-such expensive gift for your birthday, but I want this-and-that for my birthday" then you'll just come off as greedy scum and at best your friend will cuss you out, at worst he'll just want nothing to do with you at that point. Hopefully you're not too autistic to understand this, right?

Networking is a mixture of this principle, as well as just generally getting to know people. If you keep in contact with Jim from IT in a previous job, then maybe next time Jim's new job is hiring, he'll remember you and think "oh, Anon would be a pretty good fit for his job", phone you up, put you up as a candidate and put in his word as recommendation, and you might find yourself with a shiny new job at no cost except occasionally exchanging emails with Jim to ask how things are going with him. Because if you were on good terms as colleagues and he knows you as a quality employee, it's a win-win for everyone: his company gets someone know to be good rather than gambling on hiring a complete stranger (no interview process is perfect). He either gets a quality coworker, or maybe even sometimes a referral bonus from his company.
Of course the chance of any given colleague being in a position to do this and deciding you're the correct person to recommend is pretty low, but that's why keeping a wide network is important. It's always easier to get hired if you know someone who knows someone who has an open position that happens to fit you, than it is by cold-calling.

This also, HR only exists for the admin work, HR doesn't do any hiring of their own initiative. The local team lead/shift lead/whatever manager does the interviews and asks HR to hire or not; HR just does the physical act of filling in the paperwork to materialise the employment, and provide oversight to make sure company policies are followed (so e.g. nepotism or discrimination laws aren't broken, enforcing headcount limits for hiring managers, etc).

So OP, there was literally no reason to go to HR to help yourself getting hired, you needed the IT team lead to agree to hire you and then HE would've gone to HR to get you transferred. For next time.

>>
>>41749490
>resign
Anon he literally works in a survival factory. Putting survival into boxes on the assembly line or something.
Yeah what he did was against policy and shit, but in literal factory work this isn't a matter for "resignation" ffs. In fact, considering he probably has zero influence on hiring decisions, I bet it wasn't even a violation of any hiring/discrimination laws. At worst, he gets fired, in which case rip, but I don't see any situation where he would benefit in any way from walking away first.
With any luck he either gets off with some warnings and some HR screeching and maybe some autism training, or at least the whole hullabaloo takes some time and he can coast continuing boxing survivals while searching for another job for a little while.

Hell, OP, if you can get officially diagnosed with autism you might even be able to get them on some kinda discrimination thingy. Probably not to the point of counter-suing, but you could scare them into not doing anything brash, maybe let you off with a warning. Though if you've never talked to a shrink about it up till now you might not have the time to get anything certified, and I have no idea what your options will be if you get fired and then get diagnosed afterwards.

resigning is a retarded option in every case.

Well, no. If I ask for a pokemon I can't get in my game for a pokemon they can't get in theirs, that's just being an opportunist, like asking a friend do go play magic the gathering with you. Of course you also like to play. That doesn't make you a scumbag.

>Here's a completely different scenario
Pokemon are very specifically collectables that are meant to be traded. When you trade pokemon it's not a gift or some shit. It's completely inapplicable

>How is asking for improved chances at a job promotion in exchange for services somehow criminal while asking for 300 dollars or a collectors baseball card you want in exchange for services not?
The main reason is that the HR lady doesn't own the job or the promotion - the company does, and the HR lady merely represents the company. If the HR lady accepts some personal benefit and in return installs someone in a position that would not be to the best benefit of the company, the company loses out. This is effectively something similar to fraud. So it's in the company's interest to set policies that severely discourage this kind of approach.

If, for example, there was an auction for a rare baseball card and you offered a personal favour to the auction worker for him to rig the auction so that the card goes to you, that would also be bribery, because the two of you together would be defrauding the auction house out of the profits it would otherwise have gotten. Whereas if someone owns a baseball card outright, they're free to sell it to you for any kind of favour or gift it for free.

If the company was private AND the owner decided to hire OP in exchange for a personal website... well, it'd probably be a very weird business decision, but it wouldn't be bribery. (Maybe it'd fall afoul of anti-discrimination laws somehow, but that's a different issue.) The problem here is that the HR lady does not own the company and does not "own" the ability to hire someone; she's given the authority to do it on behalf of the company, with the understanding that she does it with the company's best interests in mind.

Probably not illegal for a non-state company - at least if it doesn't succeed - but also probably very much against company policy of all kinds.

>Pokemon are very specifically collectables that are meant to be traded. When you trade pokemon it's not a gift or some shit. It's completely inapplicable
OP wasn't giving the HR lady a gift, though? A gift is free. He wanted better chances in exchange. What's a better reason it's not applicable?

>The main reason is that the HR lady doesn't own the job or the promotion - the company does, and the HR lady merely represents the company.

It's true. She can't just give the job to anyone. She doesn't own the job. She works HR.
OP is obviously not asking for her to give him the company's job. He was asking her to give him better chances because she has contacts with people who actually do own the job OP wants and she can tip them off about his tech skills.

>, for example, there was an auction for a rare baseball card and you offered a personal favour to the auction worker for him to rig the auction so that the card goes to you, that would also be bribery, because the two of you together would be defrauding the auction house out of the profits it would otherwise have gotten. Whereas if someone owns a baseball card outright, they're free to sell it to you for any kind of favour or gift it for free.
This isn't analogous to our situation. I wouldn't be asking an auction worker to rig the auction or do anything illegal. I would be asking them to do something like improve my chances by getting me in contact people who own a bank that gives the best loans for auctions.
>The problem here is that the HR lady does not own the company and does not "own" the ability to hire someone;
No, but she does own her contacts. She can't hire you, but she can improve your chances by telling people about you.

>she's given the authority to do it on behalf of the company
How did you get that? She works HR, not recruitment.
>>
>>41750675
>What's a better reason it's not applicable?
In that networking is exactly like a gift exchange and exactly NOT like trading pokemon. That's the entire point, and the entire thing OP got wrong. You should go get tested for autism, too, so if you ever fuck up the same way you'll be able to fall back on medical discrimination or something.

>He was asking her to give him better chances because she has contacts with people who actually do own the job OP wants and she can tip them off about his tech skills.
It depends on how you look at it. "Let me demonstrate my portfolio" is perfectly benign, I agree.
The problem is that the way OP went at it sounds more like "let me scratch your back, so you can put in a good word for me". Demonstrating tech skills is something you do at an interview or to an IT manager, not to a random HR lady. And you generally don't do it by doing a personal favour.
OP could have even asked the HR lady if she wanted to contract him for her website, offering to make the website for $300 (or whatever would be a fair price in the circumstances, probably less, but the point is not to have it be a personal kickback). That would have demonstrated his tech skills just as much as doing it for free. Hence why offering it for free sounds like a personal favour.

>she can improve your chances by telling people about you
See, again, it depends on how you interpret it. "Let me show you how good I am at making websites, so you can go tell the IT guys and see if they want to hire me" is not bribery - but it's very, very weird to do it through an HR lady.
"Let me do you a favour so you can put in a good word for me, pull some strings, shuffle some CVs around to make sure mine gets seen and others don't" - that's also a valid interpretation of OP's actions and, considering he chose not to go to the IT manager (who can actually do an IT skills assessment) and instead went to the HR lady (who doesn't do tech interviews, but who CAN shuffle CVs around and pull some strings) it can easily seem like the likeliest explanation in the eyes of corporate.

>she's given the authority to do it on behalf of the company
>How did you get that? She works HR, not recruitment.
Authority might be a strong word, but HR are often the ones to rubber-stamp hires, sometimes pre-screen CVs, and generally have a lot of influence on all the administrative process that drives hiring.
For example, if there was another candidate that looked very promising, and HR was trying to get OP hired, they might be able to just "lose" the CV of the competing candidate so he doesn't jeopardise OP's chances, or stuff like that. Depends on the exact company structure and its internal processes, sometimes HR may have more power sometimes less, but this is a factory which I would assume is probably pretty corporate and boomery.

>this debate on the ethics of corporate corruption
Anons, let's sit down for a second and assess the situation as it is, not as it ideally ought to be. Quid pro quo is an illegal act. It doesn't matter how minor. It doesn't matter if it's money, discounted/free services, or a pokemon card. OP fucked up. This is not to detract from OP's character, he might be an autistic faggot but he's /ourfaggot/. If you want to debate the law surrounding corruption, all I can say is, send a letter to your local legislator. That or crowdfund a lawyer to try to set a legal precedent on this incident (not that I think OP will be charged with anything or punished past being fired with cause).

>In that networking is exactly like a gift exchange and exactly NOT like trading pokemon. That's the entire point, and the entire thing OP got wrong. You should go get tested for autism, too, so if you ever fuck up the same way you'll be able to fall back on medical discrimination or something.
So you can't network with people by asking if they have the opposite pokemon game from which you can both benefit by a transaction? You can't network by asking people to play a WOW dungeon with you because you need a healer for your guild? I don't know, OP. You sound like the autist here.
>The problem is that the way OP went at it sounds more like "let me scratch your back, so you can put in a good word for me".
Yeah, and what's wrong with that?
>Demonstrating tech skills is something you do at an interview or to an IT manager, not to a random HR lady.
But she's not a random HR lady. She's an HR madam in need of technical assistence. The manager doesn't need you for anything where you can show off your tech skills.
>And you generally don't do it by doing a personal favour
Well, no. But "generally" has nothing to do with "legally' or "morally."
>OP could have even asked the HR lady if she wanted to contract him for her website, offering to make the website for $300 (or whatever would be a fair price in the circumstances, probably less, but the point is not to have it be a personal kickback).
Well, yeah, but OP wanted a tech job more. What's he going to do with 300 dollars to get him closer to the job he wants?
>That would have demonstrated his tech skills just as much as doing it for free.
Well yes, but she'd be under no obligation to put a word in for him.
>Hence why offering it for free sounds like a personal favour.
But it wasn't for free. It was for her advertising him to her work friends.
>Let me do you a favour so you can put in a good word for me, pull some strings, shuffle some CVs around to make sure mine gets seen and others don't" - that's also a valid interpretation of OP's actions
Well, no. Her shuffling CVs around to rig employment is illegal and could jeperdize her job.
>and, considering he chose not to go to the IT manager (who can actually do an IT skills assessment) and instead went to the HR lady (who doesn't do tech interviews, but who CAN shuffle CVs around and pull some strings) it can easily seem like the likeliest explanation in the eyes of corporate.
He did go to IT, though. He applied for the job.
>Authority might be a strong word, but HR are often the ones to rubber-stamp hires, sometimes pre-screen CVs, and generally have a lot of influence on all the administrative processes

This is a fair point, but again this would be asking her to do something criminal, and OP has extremely plausable deniability, since he never asked her to improve his chances by committing crimes. That's like hiring a body guard to "protect you" and them murdering somebody they didn't have to at all and saying "but you told me to protect u!"

not according to US code, which is usually where employers source their wording for their employee handbook.

>>41750919

>>41750974
I'm sorry you're autistic and I have to spell this out for you but its in the section called "Bribery and Corruption" in my employee handbook, retard.
>>
>>41750978
It being in that section of the book doesn't automatically mean that's how it defines bribery and corruption. It just means that's topic it's covering.

If what you're telling me is worded like "generally you may not do x" it's probably referring to how bartering at work can look a lot like bribery and thus shouldn't be allowed or something. Notice how it says nothing about accepting such favors while not doing business? That's how I can tell you're bullshitting me and hiding or not reading information on the page. If what you said was truly how it was defining bribery it'd be saying you can't do it home, since bribery is a crime. It's unacceptable regardless if you're doing business.

Further, an employee handbook isn't the same thing as US code or law, though it is sourced from it. The wording will be fucky.

Please, anon. It's 2024. You should have learned by now that that's not what Trump meant when he said it would be a bloodbath if he lost the election. They never meant the covid vaccine was actually safe. They were saying that it was safer than getting covid. 2 thirds of car crashes being caused by sober drivers doesn't automatically mean it's safer to drive drunk. Just because your doctor says you're a whiny bitch, doesn't mean your doctor has magical powers and actually knows you don't have medical issues if you're still suffering. And just because a lethal injection looks painless, doesn't mean it is and doesn't mean a firing squad wouldn't be leagues more humane.

Anon. Shut the fuck up for a second.
1) I'm not the guy who was calling you autistic. My first post to you was replying to your rant with >>41752600 .
2) The quotations and contextual stuff are irrelevant to me. I'm not arguing what I think corruption is, I think the line between boomers inviting each other to family cookouts to aid in their career networking and offering free services to boost one's chances at an IT job is blurry legally, but both should be acceptable tbdesu. I'm not interested in this argument you guys are having over legal code because I think the law is unfairly strict anyway.
3) If that's one sentence then you need to brush up on your punctuation and grammar. None of the shit about the wu-flu matters or bears any relevance to the subject at hand. It's just you flexing your sphincter-tourniquet's grip strength because billions must die. I mostly AGREE with you, but I wouldn't be caught dead signalboosting you about it in this thread because you sound like a CIA plant trying to rope chuds into a child porn trafficking scandal. If you were to use this communist example of yours, I'd still think you were reaching and being pointlessly obnoxious and obtuse.

With all that out of the way, I'm hoping you didn't read one word and immediately get to replying because this is all I'm saying on the matter. Take a fucking break. Sit back for a while and listen to some music. Do a jigsaw puzzle. Go for a walk. Take your trash out and make your bed.

Well, think about it. The show about FRIENDSHIP has a song in it that supports COMMUNISM. Just like how the page about bribery and corruption has a sentence about bartering.
>You're in dire need of self-care if you think that all the bile you spewed isn't fucking silly after doing all that.

Anon, unclench your sphincter and think about this for two seconds.
The whole point of an application is to have advantages over other applicants. If I did a year of volunteer services for a homeless shelter so I'd get an advantage over other applicants, that wouldn't be corruption and bribery, would it?

Obviously, OP asking for an advantage in getting a job isn't bribery, since that could simply be the HR lady putting a word in to IT about him doing such good work making a website for her ecommerce business.

Again nta, but so many anons have tried to explain this and get it through to you dude. He is offering a PERSONAL FAVOR, in exchange for advantage over other applicants. I have no idea where you got this "bartering" idea, that's not even terminology thats used here. This is corruption for the exact same reason that It would be if I offered my boss a blowjob in exchange for a promotion, or offered to wash his car on the weekends, or 500$, or a fucking chicken and two bushels of wheat. The issue isn't that he's gaining an advantage over other applicants, it's that he's gaining an UNFAIR advantage based on something entirely irrelevant to the position.

Even if you still aren't getting the logic, and everyone else ITT thinking it's corruption isn't enough for you to consider that you might be wrong here, you should at least be able to recognize that OP doing this "bartering" thing seems to have *immediately* gotten him placed under investigation for corruption, right?

but if that foot presses down a gas pedal and causes a car to careen through the front doors of a school at 3pm, suddenly it's news.

Barting is legal
barting for a job, even, is legal.
Bartering for someone else to NOT do their job while continuing to have that job, on the other hand, makes you a threat to the whole system and basically a member of an attempted conspiracy.

A cop who arrests suspected criminals is not corrupt.
A cop who arrests people who piss him off is corrupt.
A cop who arrests whoever someone powerful tells him to arrest is corrupt and systemically corrupt. He is not preforming the function of an officer, while continuing to hold the position of an officer.

In other words, the concept of "fair" or "advantage" isn't actually the key issue.
>Corrupt:
>having or showing a willingness to act dishonestly in return for money or personal gain.
If an employee acting on behalf of a company should make decisions which benefit them personally using the resources entrusted to them by the company for the benefit of the company, that would involve dishonesty, in that they betrayed that trust, which is an expectation of behavior that they have accepted the burden of. If you simply take money out of the company safe using a key you've been given physical access to but not premission to use freely, that's both thievery and corruption. If you hire people with no regard for the good of the company, that's corruption.

If you pay someone to be corrupt, that's corruption.

Something that other anons never touched on is that you see through the veil of bullshit. A few do mention that exchanged favors do happen, but they don't mention the "bullshit" part.
Yes, the favors thing is exactly what it is. It's corruption, but it's only the thin veneer of societal expectations that keeps it from being outright corruption and called out for what it is. Some anons had good advise like properly charging for it next time to show it off while not making it a trade of sorts and another saying never to bother with
>femoid HR (worst combo)
Cynical as it is, yes. It's all bullshit, and autists and kids alike can call it like it is. But it doesn't change the fact that you fucked up due to the social contract.

It is an UNFAIR advantage. He's going out of his way to offer a personal favor that doesn't benefit the company itself, only an individual for it. You are hired to work for the company.

Your other arguments are invalid and you’re a sperg.

>Okay and? an advantage could be help with an outfit or a good word. It doesn't have to be illegal.
If he wanted something so simple and innocent, why did he immediately offer $300 for it?
And how is "good word" not an unfair advantage? Do other candidates get the "good word" too? Is she putting that "good word" in her capacity as a HR lady? It is bribery by definition if anon affects her professional conduct by offering money/services.

Well yeah, when your HR lady says she was asked to rig the job application process even though she wasn't, you get an investigation. It doesn't mean OP is guilty.
>Your other arguments are invalid and you’re a sperg.
Why should I or anyone believe you? You've given no reason I'm wrong that understands what I'm arguing and can't be diffused in a matter of a sentence or two. I've addressed literally everything anyone has said in this thread. What more is there to do to prove to you fellow horsefuckers what I'm saying?

>If he wanted something so simple and innocent, why did he immediately offer $300 for it?
He didn't. Did you even read his post? He was just saying to us that it's typically 300 dollars for a website.

>And how is "good word" not an unfair advantage?
Because it doesn't actually mess with the application process. It's not a crime or against the rules to tell your co-workers about somebody who'd work well for the job.
>Do other candidates get the "good word" too?
No, but that doesn't mean the advantage is unfair. If OP does volunteer work, do other candidates get to put that they also did volunteer work on their resume, too? Obviously not, so why should it be a problem in OP's case that other candidates aren't getting a "good word" either.
>Is she putting that "good word" in her capacity as a HR lady?
No. Being an HR lady has nothing to do with her telling her boss or IT about OP. That's something she's doing all on her own.
