I see HR as bureaucrats and not much else. I know that they serve some function, but I haven't quite figured out what. Its awesome that HR always gets to decide whom to cut. That way, the HR dept seems to never shrink, even though they're by far the most expendable people from a production standpoint. By that I mean, I can file paperwork, but an HR rep can't do brain surgery on a rat (or whatever the technical details of your work are).

I think you've answered your own question. Would you rather do brain surgery on rats or shuffle paper around? It is unfortunate that separating administration from real work puts most of the power in the hands of administrators, but they are sparing you from work you really don't want to do.
