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!

  • It depends on the scenario. The Response of the CEO seems to be coming out from a frustration. It could be that the HR function is not providing solutions that are adding value to the business and not being understanding.
    Another way the scenario could be looked at, is that the CEO has a big ego basically and does not respect the HR function. Either way, everyone needs to be respected and the level of response from a CEO level is not acceptable nor appreciated. If I am the HR Manager in that company, I would run away from that type of environment (no respect for people, and people opinions and voice are not heard).
