Well, they do
have to deal with a lot of crap like co-ordinating holidays / maternity leave, handling complaints and disputes, assisting with payroll, processing job applicants, organising inductions etc. And they need a solid knowledge of employment law. That said, they are all cunts. My job requires me to steer clear of the lot of them. Their interests are purely internal (fnarr, fnarr); For outsiders they are a cul-de-sac.
