I read the whole piece. My key observation, is the author's assumption that HR was 'there for the employees'. HR doesn't exist for you, HR exists for the corporation, for the protection of the corporation.

It astounds me, in this day and age, that employees think HR is there to protect them. I understand the misconception from young people at their first job, but the author is 60 (+/-) over the time of this story.

In my 38 years of working at medium to large corporations, I have had exactly one time when HR was useful to me, and that was on my way out the door in my prior job.
