An article in the UK's Guardian newspaper (discussed here) includes a quotation from a UK HR consultant who believes that "HR are double-agents, the smiling assassins."

The article asks if HR is "friend or foe" to employees. The overview of the HR profession in 2011 presented in the article ostensibly seeks to present a balanced perspective on where HR sits in the organisational power structure, and on whether its loyalties are to the employer, the employee or somewhere in between.

But the article in full appears to suggest that HR is more "foe" than "friend" to employees. I'm interested to find out your views on this article, and the extent to which the perspectives it presents resonate with your own views on the state of the HR profession in 2011.
