I wonder how the HR folks actually contribute to a company’s bottom line. They often seem to impede work rather than enhance it.

In the military, mission used to be everything. All personnel not directly working to accomplish it, should only exist to serve those that accomplish it. That overriding priority, making profit as a business or winning wars as the military, seems to be secondary these days.

If HR isn’t improving the bottom line, they are a drain. You can probably say the same thing about the “studies” degree graduates. How does someone with a feminist studies degree, for example, produce anything good?

They don't contribute at all. Most of what they do destroys productivity. They exist primarily because of our litigious society. Everything else they do other than deal with surly employees is to push leftist propaganda, because they don't have any actual skills.
