Modern HR departments are for the employer only in my experience. Heard first hand (from HR people I know from different companies) some horror stories of how they manage people out. Have asked them how they feel about this and they just reply that it's their job and what is expected of them without a blink of the eye. We're talking legitimate cases of serious illness here as well. They're pretty inept at the day to day things and dealing with employees in my experience but are utterly ruthless when carrying out a firm's wishes. I think this is down to the fact that they deal only in black and white with no human / pragmatic approach whatsoever.
Not my experience.
