CEO to HR: "You are simply only here to advise me..."

From the CEO to the HR team...

"You are simply only here to advise me. Whether or not I take your advice is none of your business as I run the company, not you."

Extremely interested to hear the responses to this!

  • I disagree that is 'isn't any of HR's business', as if the CEO is making a decision that is illegal/un-ethical/ damaging then it could be very much their business.

    I imagine we have all had occasions when the CEO/ MD/ management have gone against our advice and that is part of the course. However the tone of this (and obviously we don't know the context) sounds particularly dismissive.
