Jeff Bezos Says Amazon Won’t Tolerate ‘Callous’ Management Practices

I worked in HR a few times and this is right.

Not because the people there are assholes. They are really nice and want to employ everybody forever. But they just can't.

Often the leadership of HR is the problem.

In civil service, the HR bosses were all about getting their friends and family a job. In the free marked, they wanted to minimize costs and legal obligations to the employees. The rest of the HR-workforce just has to suck it up and they often don't like it...

Some. Maybe. But there is also something to be said for being really cut out for a particular line of work. Those types definitely exist as well.

They exist in every profession, HR is no better or worse. Witness the number of startups which end up in PR disasters, etc.
