    They’re very useful to the company. They are not on your side though as a worker. They are effectively the prosecution, state’s attorneys and you are the one on trial. Talking to HR is like talking to cops, it can only hurt you but cannot help you. If your workplace is unionized, demand a steward be present at any disciplinary meeting. That’s your defense lawyer, and they won’t be present unless you exercise your rights.
