Correct. There's a misunderstanding by many. Many believe that HR is there for the employees, which is not the case. HR exists to serve and protect the company. Squealing to HR about problems isn't likely to help an employee, it's more likely to put them on the chopping block.

In the department "Human Resources", never forget that "Human" is just an adjective and "Resources" is the noun.

At my company, we call the department "People and Talent," but it's colloquially known as "PeepOps" here. Company is about 800 people and publicly traded.

I also thought the same thing, but a month or two into my first job quickly dispelled that illusion. HR is for the benefit of the company, not the employee.
