While the term “friend” may not precisely encapsulate the nature of our relationship, I am a member of Adobe’s Human Resources team. We strive to assist employees with work-related issues and provide legal protection when necessary. Our organizational culture fosters a positive relationship with employees and are more like a family than a friendship.

Like most people know HR’s job is to keep the company out of legal trouble personnel-wise, whether that be to the people’s benefit or not - they don’t need to pretend they’re a bleeding heart looking after the employees, because they’d stab them in the back all the same.
HR is on your side when someone else has violated policy against you, especially when the action could be problematic for the company if ignored. That’s not being a friend or family, that’s them doing their job function.

Exactly. If you’re only on the employee’s side when you are obligated to be, that’s called just doing your job.
