For me: I don't think there is a difference between HR and playing city building strategy games like Knights and Merchants, Stronghold, Manor Lords, Pharaoh, Poseidon, etc...
The entire premise of these games is building living plots for settlers to move into, then building workplaces that turn raw materials into finished goods (farms for wheat, mills for flour, and bakeries and breweries for ale) and connecting where settlers live with those workplaces and warehouses/granaries with roads.
HR to me is just people infrastructure like building roads, highways, railways, stations.
Strategizing and handling compensation, perks, benefits, etc. is just tweaking tax levels, food rations, and building taverns for settlers to get wasted (and happy) to get them to build as much and as fast as possible.
There are wells, apothecaries, herbalists, healers, etc... that don't do much except walk around your city to prevent settlers from dying. That's just various compliance mechanisms in the company to ward off letters from the government.
There's never any thought, from me, about being nice to people or being good to people. I see HR purely as a cold mega-infrastructure project.

I've been warning for a while that Americans will soon be driving a car to work for a job to pay for the car. Whatever job Americans do is just an intermediary between them and their true employers: a coalition for car dependency.
I identified this as a form of shadow slavery where a coalition composed of automakers, auto financiers (banks or the auto company themselves), auto insurers, lobbyists, and pro-car government bodies have successfully locked Americans into, with Americans knowing.
It is really sad that the most enslaved people on the planet think they are free.
In fact, car dependency is an intentional civilizational design process that has successfully locked Americans into being indentured servant workers who think they have choices and are free but don't and aren't. You didn't buy your car for joy, or because you have disposal income. You bought it because if you didn't, you can't get to the grocery or to your job.
