Exactly.
We had a "Chief People Officer" - much like the title of Chief Executive Officer, it was a very well-paid position.
The CPO, as she preferred to be called, was a battle-axe feminist with a degree in Psychology. Her "job" was to mediate between personnel disputes. That's it. $90 grand a year to sit in an office, play solitaire, and occasionally get involved in the personal lives of co-workers.
A vastly over-paid busybody, yet her position outlasted those in both the sales and marketing departments.
Ah yes, the protected PC types. I have seen these instances before.
