I read that many times on HN, like a revelation "HR is not your side". This sounds pretty obvious to me. My interaction with HR has never been more than updating some administrative information or sending them documents they need. And the day they'll fire me, why should I expect any special favour from them? I don't see them more on "my side" than the IRS or my landlord.
