> I don't see why there's still HR around

Main reasons…

1. HR doesn’t work with you. They work for your CEO or Board. Consider them a toxic entity if you ever have a real problem.

2. HR is a socially accepted jobs program for people without any discernible skills, beyond basic data entry and organization. Effectively no one else wants to do it. The issue is that with point one, these people are told they are important and it immediately goes to their heads.
