We used to have an HR department until the one lady who was the department retired. She mostly just reset people’s passwords for them. Now that we don’t have an HR department, they just give us admin rights on our machines so we can reset our own passwords. Automation is coming for us all.
If their employer has outsourced most of the traditional HR stuff… then yeah. They were just holding on to an employee in a position about to get cut, until they retired.
