You're making up straw man arguments and you obviously haven't even read my post.
Also, I'm not HR.

I understand your point, although I disagree. I will say that my intentions were never that you (and everyone else) should be buddies with HR, or even trust them. But there's a huge difference between being friendly but at a distance and being actively hostile.
You get paid by the company. The company not closing down benefits you. Also, your performance should (in most cases) lead to raises to your salary.
Thanks, but they're actually both accepted spellings.

My wife works in HR and there a lot of misconceptions about the field. First off, a lot of people call them "the cops of the company" or claim that they're only out to protect the company. If your HR person is any good then that is not their goal. Good HR people are there to protect the company, yes, but they're also there to protect the employees. It's been proven time and time again that being good and fair to your employees leads to more productivity. A good HR person is always fighting with the top brass trying to convince them to do the right thing for the employees. They're in the weeds with the executives explaining to them why giving a raise that just matches inflation is not a raise, and anything less is actually a demotion. They're explaining why giving benefits will actually earn the company money in the long run through employee retention. They're trying their best to get performance reports, pay bands, etc, so that employees will see feedback on their performance and receive help when they need it and increased salaries when they're excelling.
Not all HR departments are great, there are plenty that are awful, but imagine this scenario -- and this has happened to my wife many, many, many times:
You go to the executives with a plan for raises and benefits, you've been working on it for months. Both physically working on it, and in meetings explaining to the executives how this plan will not just benefit them but also the employees. After all that work, the executives take your carefully crafted plan, completely gut it despite all your advising, then hand it back to you and tell you to present it to everyone as though this was your grand dream from the beginning. It's pretty demoralizing, but you have to put on a brave face and try to remain positive while explaining "your plan", and keep all the stuff about how good it actually could have been if you'd be allowed to do what you know is right to yourself.
It's better than nothing, after all. You've made some improvement to people's experience of the workplace.
You know you've got a good HR team if you're working somewhere that has solid benefits, quarterly or semi-annual performance reports (with raises), pay bands and clear paths forward in your career, raises that at least meet inflation, a positive work culture where you feel at least some trust and comradery in your peers, etc. If you do, then those people are not your enemy.
In brief, I hope some of you reading this will take away this message: HR people are not the enemy. They're just the messengers, and the advisors. If you have a problem with the HR department where you work, then you almost certainly have a problem with the team of executives who aren't listening to their expertise.
My personal goblin mode is private, but here's the definition of it if that helps:

I enjoy that my wife is happy to, and even insists, upon going full goblin mode when we're at home. It's nice to just really relax and unwind with her with zero judgements.
Garuda has been an A+ gaming distro for me so far, been daily driving it for about 6 months.
It's possible to be queer and racist, unfortunately.
Hardest in a different way than you probably mean for me would be This War Of Mine. One of the first missions you basically have to stab an old man and his wife after you broke into their house. It's rough.
The humanzee (sometimes chuman, manpanzee or chumanzee)
OMG you can't just leave out the other nicknames! Chuman... LOL
I have no opinion on that because that's not what we're talking about. Usually companies that offer hourly rates rather than salaries don't have an HR department, or the HR department is so far removed from those employees as to make no difference to them whether they're there or not.
I'm not sure what you want me to say because it's pretty much irrelevant to the situation I'm describing.
