A vast majority of HR functions would not exist without government regulation. They are often the least useful and most toxic people in any organization.

In one of my former companies, I went out to dinner with a whole group of out-of-town co-workers including the head of HR, who spent the entire evening acting like she was my best friend. She got drunk with everyone, and we helped her stumble back safely to her hotel at the end of the night. A month later, she was in charge of laying off my entire team and didn’t return a single personal message I sent her afterward.

Fake HR people are the fucking worst.
