HR is the quintessential "make work" project. For the actual work they do, or more accurately the work they're needed for, I'm sure the average HR department could get by with 50% of their staff or less. Hiring, firing, token diversity initiatives to avoid getting sued. How much time and energy do these tasks ultimately require? Each worker probably does 2-4 hours of real, necessary work per day.
At its core the very existence of the HR field is another form of using government and corporations to transfer wealth and power from men to women.
