Comment on Cloudflare Employee records her final meeting where HR tries to fire her
Fizz@lemmy.nz 9 months agoJust don’t get a job in HR and no one can get fired. It’s that easy guys.
HR is a legitimate job and serves and important purpose in the structure of a company. You can’t dismiss it by saying their purpose is to serve rich assholes because that’s the purpose of every job at a company. That’s work, that’s most jobs.

Except HR’s entire purpose is to insulate management. They’re not exactly producing anything

Production of goods is not relevant at all there are plenty of valid jobs that do not produce anything. Having an HR department in a large company allows other departments to focus on what they are good at and have HR handle all the employee contracts, hiring, firing, complaints, performance reviews, leave etc.

All those tasks you listed are really the responsibility of management. HR is basically the grease between the decisions of upper management and the reactions of the lowly prawns

They can be the responsibility of management in smaller companies but at scale they require a department.
