>>784589>HR arent even the ones giving ordersStill one of the functional units closest to those who 'give the orders' in most organizations.
>they dont fire people because they think its funnyFrom personal experience with HR people: they actually do enjoy firing people. Its also them working out who to fire when 'the order is given' to reduce head count; be assured that they themselves are the last ones who will be downsized unless there is some acquisition and merger shenanigans going on.
As other anon(s) already said: they are the 'companies'' face representing porkie's interests within an organization. As such they recruit reactionaries and people with the highest degree of false consciousness that happily 'manage' the 'human ressources'. They implement and manage 'hiring processes' and happily interfere when qualified appplicants fail their vibe checks.
They are the ones to plan and execute programs to increase 'team spirit' and 'identification with the company' and all that surreal dystopian shit to raise 'motivation' while pay and working conditions are atrocious.
Further more: their degree of power and options to interfere is greatly overinflated in comparison to their actual understanding of the business and what actually happens 'on the ground'.
I had the pleasure to attend requirements workshops with these people to come up with new 'onboarding processes' and it is actually impressive how clueless these people are in regards to what is happening around them and with the applicants they actually hire.
HR is some of the worst examples of bloat in the managerial strata in even mid sized organizations, let alone big corporations and attracts the most reactionary elements of asinine class traitors.
