Someone said, "You must love HR, you get to tell people what to do." If only they knew it is more about coaching, calming, and compromise than power. What is the biggest misconception people have about your role?

I think it's that we enjoy being the bad guys. I'm sure some out there do, but I'd bet 99% of us fall into the "unwilling messenger" category. I don't want to be there when someone is notified they're being put on a PIP. I don't want to tell someone they're losing their job. There's no joy in any of it for me.

Spot on. People assume HR enjoys the tough stuff, when in reality it's the part that weighs on us the most. I'd much rather spend my time building culture than delivering bad news.

Yeah I’m not a fan of hearing that comment but unfortunately it has been heard multiple times. We just do our job to the best of our ability that’s all.
