I worked with HR a bit. The people were the sweetest I've worked with, but the forms they had me make were full of legalese, and their procedures were algorithmic, military executions.
My theory is they are battle-scarred by a few bad apples, who crop up here and there, now and then. These employees were high maintenance, imperiled the company, even sued. As the article said, "a good part of Human Resources time is spent managing various forms of drama."
I'm not saying that if you ever sued your employer you were wrong. Since employers are people, and employees are people, both are equally capable of corruption. What I'm saying is, if everyone acted in good faith, maybe we wouldn't need HR. But the same could be said about many things in life.
