To be fair, that could have been a genuine attempt to reach out to you. Coming in with painted nails when they've never seen you present yourself that way could be interpreted as you going through some life changes, and maybe you want to talk about them given an opportunity?

Who talks to hr out of their own volition anyway?

It’s a small firm, so I know our HR manager pretty well. But yeah.

But also HR is never your friend. If he opens up it’s just a document in a file and if he gets fired it’s ammunition on why he wasn’t performing up to spec based on “life changes.”

HR is always your enemy

:(

Lol lots of HR supporters here. I suppose I do have to correct my claim: if you're a manager or executive HR is not your enemy.

Nah, he knows me well enough to know what I’m about. And ultimately he doesn’t really care whether I do it or not, but he’s an ex-army man of a certain age, and me wearing nail polish doesn’t jive with his view of what’s ’normal’.
