    At my first corporate job I actually liked our HR person. she was cool and i thought that maybe she'd be on the side our side or something (This was before i really woke up politically).

    Then we had an anonymous survey of employees to find how they felt about various things about the job.

    A few weeks later we got a printed newsletter from HR. "Many of you felt that you weren't being compensated enough. Did you know that your compensation isn't just your paycheck? There are lots of things that are part of your compensation blah blah blah"

    That's when I knew that HR is just the smiling face of a company mouthpiece. They will never take your side. They know the name on their checks.
