Seems HR gets more than their fair share of abuse. From HBR running their ongoing series on why HR sucks or how HR needs to change to why everyone hates HR.

For too many, HR people are like politicians.

What if I told you that 26 percent of your employees either blatantly lie or inadvertently misidentify demographic questions on employee surveys ? If you’re like most managers we work with, you’ll immediately distrust the survey process and its reported data—and that’s completely fair.
