u201cfile a complaintu201d sounds like a formal process. A smaller company might not have an official HR departmentu2026but it will most certainly have someone who is officially in chargeu2026Figure out a tactful way to have that conversation and then follow the convo with a simple email summarizing and a thank you.u201cthanks for taking the 5 minutes to talk to me yesterday about the challenges I am having with XYZu2026it sounds like there may be some simple solutionsu2026I look forward to seeing those changes. If you need any more info from me, just ping me back and iu2019ll follow up. Thanks again.u201dIt creates a little vague documentation that you can keep in a file to at least prove that the convo happenedu2026youre making your own HR department.itu2019ll also help you remember the date of the incidents if there is no resolution in the future.And if you need to discuss it again youu2019ll be able to refer to the first convo.If the bosses are bad and not willing to try and solve an HR issue then there are bigger issues which will arrive down the road and and youu2019ll know the company isnt right for you.And there is always the possibility that the problem is you..but at least youu2019ll feel empowered that you tried to solve the problem in a professional manner.
