I see. I've heard varying things on HR. Sometimes they help, sometimes they hurt. I I know technically they exist to protect the company, but I've once had a similar situation where I needed to transfer and they were helpful (different job years ago). So maybe HR is slightly different at each company?
Correct, HR exists to keep the company out of legal trouble. If there's an outside threat of legal issues they'll side with whoever that affects. The vast majority of the time with an internal issues HR will side with management. So if you go talking shit about your department to HR, probably not good for you.
