“better human resources directors” implies that the baseline is “GOOD human resources directors”. That would be erroneous. I was in H.R. for several years, and early on I realized H.R. professionals are the lowest form of life. Most of the ones I worked with had a lot of background in psychology, and it was fun for them to mess with employees’ heads. Plus, they’re the P.C. Police in an organization, so are extra obnoxious.
I once told an Irish joke to an HR person. She turned green!
