People love to hate HR until they realize what HR Business Partners actually do behind closed doors. They think a manager comes to us saying, "I want to fire this person," and we just say, "Say no more, let's do it," but what actually happens is a manager asking to fast-track a performance plan, and us stepping in to ask: "Did you set clear expectations? Have you given actionable feedback? Where are your 1:1 notes? No? Then we are going to sit down, coach this employee fairly, and give them a genuine chance to succeed." Half our job is decoding emotional, panicked requests from leaders and coaching them into responsible, fair decisions.
