@ workingman- HR is a necessary component. You obviously are not educated on the hierarchy of American business. I bid you good day.

Who needs HR? They are overhead.

what's the point of this article? if someone gets fired or laid off s/he shouldn't get upset with HR? that's the nature of your job and you're not going to convince anyone your terminating to feel for you. i don't think every time someone mentions attorney they are threatening you. they are simply stating they want legal representation.

I agree with David. They only add more politics.

i think employers need to listen to employees more, be kind to them.

My case was not very common. I understood when I was laid off because the working atmosphere was getting intoxicating in that place. I really felt lucky of being fired and just said: Thank you.

HR departments are a self-important waste of money. They add no value to a company and are a cost center. In this economy, efficiency is key.

HR duties could be handled on a part-time basis by other managment departments.
