When I started work back in the antediluvian 19xx's, every company had a Personnel Department.
Now no corporation has a Personnel Department, they have "Human Resources". Like we get mined out of the ground by huge machines somewhere remote where the pollution and habitat destruction doesn't matter, and the "produce" gets shipped in disgusting conditions aboard slave ships to France, from whence it makes its own perilous way across the Channel in cheap-as-chips expendable inflatables, to disappear across the dunes to populate the UK shadow economy ... no names, no pack drill, no employer's NI.
OK, perhaps I exaggerate slightly (but have you been to the slave mines yourself to check with your own eyes? No? Who are you to argue then?).
C.J. Strachan (pseudonym) (an "HR Professional", so he should know) tells us exactly how it is in HR these days.
Whilst not precisely how I outlined it above, you may think it even worse ... and why else would he publish under a pseudonym?
NB: This is not employment advice 😎.
