It's ok to find fault. It's ok to be angry. It's ok to want things to be better. It's ok to be concerned about something that isn't literally the top global priority.
However, I think being angry about how poorly something is done is not logically compatible with total contempt for the job itself.
If I am angry at how a job is done, I must believe it is important.
But if the job is truly important to me, I should (not in a normative sense, but as a logical consequence) be willing to devote my life to doing it and improving it.
You can't tell someone else what their priorities in life should be and I wouldn't. But anger signals pain over internal contradictions to me.
Again, it's ok to be angry at HR or anyone. It's ok to not solve the problems, which are probably hard problems! But if you don't want to devote your life to improving the situation, then maybe you can introspect and realize you don't care very much, and lose your reason for being angry.
And accepting how hard the problems are, assuming they are too hard for you, should enable respect for the people that do them now.
