    I’ve been friends with HR people at a number of jobs. They generally party hard. I’ve also always had the understanding that if they have to walk me we’d be professional about it. I’ve never been let go.

      Yeah this matches my experience. HR person is always the one to have a bottle of whisky squirreled away for a good time.

      I’ve been let go twice. It’s shitty, but I realise they have very little power in a situation like that.

        This is why I have so far refused to be a people manager. I’m not going to be able to emotionally handle laying someone off.
