Super Lawyer Jonathan Pollard gives some valuable advice: HR is not your friend. HR works for the corporation. HR is loyal to the corporation. Human Resources departments basically spun out of corporate legal departments. They are a rebranded part of legal designed to protect the company from risk and exposure.

In large, HR's mission is to mitigate risk, avoid lawsuits, and get rid of "problem" employees by any means necessary.
