The root cause of many (internal) business-evils is idle HR departments. Without a tight reign kept on them to minimise their reach they will proceed to reach their tendrils into a thousand cracks and “implement” a thousand pointless endeavours that results in some of stuff talked about in this thread.

It starts with pointless little surveys and SaaS products for 1:1’s. Left unchecked it results in stack ranking employees and other awful things.
