Human Resources, to any company who employs such a department you are indistinguishable from coal.
It's bad faith to contend that a programmer is nothing more than an inert substance. I'm not talking about emotions or morale or anything woo-woo like that, just that programmers do more than coal. You can't burn a person and get code as a result.
HR workers who follow your logic do a disservice to themselves and the company, because when a programmer is performing under expectations, HR is not going to say, "well, they're a piece of coal, what do you expect?"
No, programmers are only coal at the beginning, and then the script flips after they're hired. That's textbook bad faith, and "walking out on the spot" always involves having wasted time at least going through the interview process. Charming.
The function of HR in a business is to keep employee costs down.
I imagine that a lot of HR do think this, but I think it's an oversimplification of their duty that compromises the interests of the company. I wouldn't go so far as to say that HR's overall mission is fiduciary.
