When you can’t go to HR — we’re here.
Confidential HR guidance when you don’t feel safe going to your company’s HR.
You shouldn’t have to choose between your values and your job.
Too many employees stay silent when something feels off — because they’ve seen what happens when people speak up.
HR should be a safe place, but when it’s not, you still deserve guidance you can trust.
That’s why we created HR Confidential — a safe space for individuals to ask questions, get support, and make the right decision for themselves, without fear of retaliation or exposure.
You Deserve Help—Even When HR Isn’t Helping
If you’re unsure how to speak up safely, you’re not alone.

Here’s How HR Confidential Works
Submit Your Question
Use our secure form to share your HR concern — no identifying info required unless you want a callback. You can be anonymous.
We Review & Respond
A certified HR professional reviews your question and sends back a personalized response within 48 hours. If your situation is urgent, you can request a same-day consult.
You Decide What’s Next
You choose how to move forward — whether it’s a coaching session, documentation support, or just peace of mind.
What’s Okay to Ask?
Anything you’re afraid to ask your HR department.
Anything that makes your stomach drop.
Anything that keeps you up at night.
✔️ Is my manager allowed to talk to me like that?
✔️ I reported something and now I’m being treated differently — what do I do?
✔️ HR told me not to say anything — should I be worried?
✔️ I think I’m being pushed out. Do I have rights?
✔️ I want to quit, but I don’t want to lose my PTO.
✔️ Can they write me up for that?
✔️ This doesn’t feel right. What are my options?
“When I felt like my supervisor was trying to push me out, I didn’t know where to turn. HR didn’t feel like a safe option at first—but Martin & Foster listened without judgment and helped me figure out how to approach the situation with confidence. I used the tools and language they gave me to speak with both my supervisor and HR, and I’m happy to say the issue was resolved. The tension is gone, and I finally feel like I can breathe again at work.

Clarity Matters — Here’s What We Don’t Do
We’re here to support you — but we’re not a law firm, and we don’t replace your company’s HR department. Here’s what this service isn’t:
❌ We don’t investigate complaints
We can guide you on how to raise a concern — but we don’t contact your employer.
❌ We don’t offer legal advice
We’re not attorneys. We can help you prepare, but we may refer you to legal counsel if needed.
❌ We don’t escalate issues
We won’t call your employer or act on your behalf. You stay in control.
❌ We don’t report misconduct
If something serious or illegal has occurred, we’ll help you understand your options — but reporting is your decision.
Our goal is to equip you with knowledge — not to interfere, but to empower.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions we hear from individuals navigating tough workplace situations.
-
Yes. Nothing you share is shared with your employer, and we’re not affiliated with any company. Our role is to give you independent, experienced HR guidance—just for you.
-
Absolutely. Many people reach out before they make a decision—whether it’s about reporting a concern, responding to HR, or exploring their options.
-
You can ask us anything related to your job, rights, or what’s happening at work. Examples include:
A warning or write-up you received
How to respond to a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan)
Questions about termination, retaliation, or discrimination
How to document or escalate something safely
Understanding your options before making a move
-
We bring decades of HR experience and a simple promise: to treat you with respect, give you honest answers, and help you move forward safely.
-
We believe access to real HR help shouldn’t require a lawyer or a huge expense. This is an introductory rate to make support accessible during tough moments. (Note: rates may increase in the future.)
-
Never. We are an external consulting firm and do not engage with your employer in any way unless you specifically request it—and most people don’t.
-
You’ll get a confirmation email with details about what to expect. From there, you’ll either be matched with a consultant or sent scheduling instructions, depending on what option you selected.
-
That’s exactly what we’re here for. You don’t need to file a complaint, name names, or take action before you’re ready. This is a confidential space to talk, ask questions, and explore your options—without pressure or judgment.
