very true, HR seems to the collective watering hole for fatbeasts.  i remember back in the early 2000's HR at the places i worked at consisted of an older director and several fit young women who were the hr coordinators, recruiters, benefits specialists, etc...now a days this has completely gone to shit, hr is literally as you described, a multitude of fatties who will not and can not excel at anything else in life and are given power over others.  a few months back i shared a story of how our group complained to HR about wildebeest's stealing lunch from our vendor meetings and we ended up getting our hands slapped for it.  HR is and always will be there to protect the company, not you the employee, what makes this even further infuriating is the hams that are literally large and in charge.
