I am sure you did everything that worked because you have kept yourself informed about the virus and believe in the benefits of science. Bravo to you for being conscientious and caring enough to not just look out for yourself but for others as well. Brad, thank you for sharing your story with us.

However, we too have strong opinions about our own field that sometimes must be expressed. I think its healthy and I think it is what HR stands for in the United States. It should be valued by all of us in this profession. Thank you for your bravery and your comments. I appreciate it. HR people are not known to be rebel rousers.

Fortunately I did not experience much of what you have. I was fortunate to see warning signs displayed by leaders and members. For my first SHRM meeting, I was seated across members whom didn't mind guests observe them shovel green beans into their mouths. I saw "leaders" who declined to check facts and figures. These same leaders shut down basic inquiries with, "That's a great question." (Yes, that's why people whom desire to succeed inquire.) Too much demographical copy paste. Too much status quo. Only two things surprise me about your post: One, it took you 18 years to realize. These issues, especially discrimination, are as plain as day. Two, someone is actually speaking about these issues. HR is an exclusionary zone. You and I are a thousand miles distant Bradley. It's the same here. The people whom you trusted are the same who both ignored and permit your excommunication.

My decision to retire five years ago apparently was a timely one. Unfortunately, I did not see the future of the HR professional as one full of hope and promise and so I was eager to retire. As a former Chapter President, I was disappointed in the way that the SHRM Leadership was operating. Everything you wrote in your article is disturbing to me. SHRM is now political. SHRM has take sides. Not a good thing. Corruption has brought down what was once a great organization. Sad, very sad. I share your sentiments.

I am terribly disappointed with SRHRM and will think long and hard about renewing my membership in 2019. We need to make them hear us and membership dollars seem to be the only way to go.

I agree with most everything you have talked about. It is sad, at least for me, with some of the changes made at SHRM, both in some of the attitudes and changes made. Like you, I am a long time member (back to the ASPA days) and volunteer leader. Hopefully this may open a dialogue. Well written and said Brad. I agree with most everything you have talked about.
