I note this attitude as well. Where do you think it comes from?
- ChrisMarshallNY 7y agoI can't speak for other companies, but our HR was run by the corporate Counsel (lawyer). I think that's increasingly common, these days, as the job of HR is generally to protect the corporation from its own employees. Lawyers have a naturally adversarial mindset. They never pass up any opportunity for an edge, as that edge can give them some leverage. That's not really a good or bad thing. That's their job, but it can be a bit jarring, when you encounter it.
