There seems to be a common pattern of HR being disliked in firms and workplaces across different industries no matter where you're focused on.

To be honest during my apprenticeship/internship HR weren't too bad and would have a laugh with you, hell one of them loved the dark humor from one of our technicians.

Is there something I'm missing that HR are soul less and will protect the interests of a firm before yourself? I'm not sure as I think not all HR people are terrible, just comes with the territory so to speak

What are your thoughts on the matter?

What do YOU think of them as a department from your current and past experiences?

HR DGAF about you or me, they're there for the company and will squash us like bugs if they think it's good for their company.

Also, yeah, a lot of places have wildly incompetent HR staff on top of that.
