depends on the small org. large orgs have a lot of people and a lot of personalities, processes, HR handbooks, you name it.

small companies have a handful of people, and if there is a clash then you're gonna have a bad time. in some ways this is good since you have only to lever or negotiate with 2-3 people, and can get facetime, but if you're on the shit-list it's not gonna happen.

You make a good point. There have been times an HR handbook / department would have been useful. At the end of the day it's a choice I guess, which kind of org you work in. HR departments can also be a bad presence, depending on what is going on for you at the time.
