In the last month, has your CFO or business owner made a call on an HR issue — leave, termination, comp — that was really a judgment call outside their training?
If your HR generalist hit a question above their experience level tomorrow, do they have anywhere to escalate it besides finance or leadership?
Has anyone in your leadership team ever said out loud that the current HR reporting structure isn't actually working — or has it just quietly stayed the same because it always has?
Somewhere in your building right now, there's a CFO answering a question they have no business answering. A leave-of-absence question. A comp question. A "can we fire this person today" question. And they're answering it not because it's their job — but because there's nobody else in the room qualified to.
Today I want to talk about how that happens, why it's more common in corporate small business environments than almost anyone admits out loud, and — this is the part that matters — why it's not actually the CFO's fault, and it's not actually the HR generalist's fault either. It's a structural trap. And once you see the shape of it, you can't unsee it.
