HR can be your friend, when the interest of the company, and your interest happen to align, which in my experience is more often than not.
But its important to recognize, that HR is only to your benefit, when interests align, the OP is right, that HR is not there to protect you, but to protect the company, sometimes protecting you however, is protecting the company as well.

I think that very much depends on how HR decides to view things. Someone complains about another coworker's behavior. "Oh man we better protect the company by addressing that person's behavior." "Oh man we better protect the company by addressing the person who complained." Just about every HR situation can go in a lot of directions, it just depends on what HR decides their best choice is. The problem as an employee is that you DON'T KNOW what HR thinks or will do, pretty much ever. HR as an organization has all your personal information, and HR groups expect / requires you share that with them .... but generally you have no relationship with them and no reason to trust them. It's a weird situation.

- slivym 8y agoI really don't think that's the definition of a friend.
