management's passive aggressive office cops who use indirect violence rather than direct - theyve got the same role, to protect the company and therefore, capital. don't think i've ever met an HR person who hasn't filled me with loathing and/or creeped me out, either malicious automata programmed to deal death through a rictus, artificial smile, or snide 15 year olds stuck in the bodies of 20-30somethings.
