You can see how A & B are diometrically opposed, no?

I put it down to a number of things: HR has more to do now to cover
$corp's a$$ets legally; IT implements "systems" of automation to
"help" HR do their job without inquiring of HR what would really be of
use to them; HR is never truly trained on said "systems" once they are
implemented.

I mean, c'mon, we're in IT, we've seen the ridiculously stupid systems
that get put into place without consulting any of the end users.
*cough* Clarify *cough* Ariba *cough*cough* a hundred more.  I mean,
what's wrong with a company that sells UNIX to their customers and
then builds their corporate management systems on M$?  Just a few
examples, I'm sure we've all seen dozens more.
