After 5 years of selfless service, a man realized that he has not been promoted, no transfer, no salary increase no commendation and that the Company is not doing any thing about it. So he decided to walk up to his HR Manager one morning and after exchanging greetings, he told his HR Manager his observation.The boss looked at him, laughed and asked him to sit down saying;
My, you have not worked here for even one day.
The man was surprised to hear this, but the manager went on to explain.

Hi,
Romit has contributed a good joke indeed!
But after all, a joke is a joke and it is best left at that.
On a HR forum, such a generalization about a HR guy is in poor test for two reasons-first all sweeping generalizatios are BAD and lack universal applicability and secondly, it is indeed in poor test!
HR may be a management Appointee but can should not be partisan to managements ahead of employees. He has a function to assimilate all employees and to orient them to excellent collective performance. He is the conscience-keeper of the organization and if he becomes a "management guy" he is being disloyal to his profession.
If some of our members have experience otherwise with their respective HR guys, it is plain unfortunate. They should, instead of generalizations, seek better experience.
I have no objections whatsoever to wat is published. Its just that I felt SORRY to see such demeaning generalizations!!
