It literally adds nothing except drama and toxicity. Even if you are lucky to have a "non toxic HR department", what value do they add to the company really on a professional level?

• They stick their noses up to other people's business which they know nothing about.
• All of their tasks could be done by any supervising employee for their respective department.
• Even on the work floor the best you can do is to avoid them as a whole.
• They tend to play favorites more often than not.
• They come up with stupid emails and questionnaires which is just waste of time.
• They protect the company and that EXCLUDES it's employees, they will throw you under the bus for any kind of kudos.

Just my two cents. The best case scenario would be if tomorrow all HR employees got the sack worldwide, literal heaven. You won't be missed lol.
