H.R. generally runs interference for Management,or helps them find loopholes to skirt company policies so friends and realitives without any qualifications can be hired.

HR makes sure that your employer cannot be held accountable and any promises in the hand book are nothing but a jumble of negated legalese.

HR = Hilarious Reasoning. I once was involved in a situation where an email was sent from an anonymous outside email acct to the estranged husband of an employee who was going through a divorce detailing her dates with a person she later married. One of my co-workers was being targeted by HR as having sent the email because he mentioned during lunch one day that "she had a need PDA" and he had been "playing with it" while he repaired her computer and saw her private email addresses. HR was gunning to fire him. I happened to know that one person she worked with in HR had a crush on her and did a little after hours snooping and found the email on that persons PC from 'browser cookies' and showed it to the HR manager. Result? My co-worker was still suspended for 2 days for looking at her PDA. The person who sent the email was told "don't do it again...ok?" The bottom line was the HR manager did not want to look bad...

I have a friend in HR who has become very disallusioned with it. She says when she first got into HR she liked it because the HR department was used as a means to protect and look out for the employees of a company. Now, she says it has turned into a means to protect the COMPANY from the employees by setting up out of control policies and taking stances on issues that have the company's best interest in mind rather than the employee's. Especially when it comes to layoffs, outsourcing, rebadging and things of that nature.
