Literally 100% of the things HR does can be done by a Line manager. You need a couple of HR VPs to settle policy discussions but apart from that they are redundant

While that may be true, why would you spend engineering managers' time, when they are being paid $$$$ (a M1 at Meta can get paid upwards of $700k, while a M2 can hit $900k-$1M/yr) when you can hire someone from the HR for a fraction of the cost?

Like...I bet 100% of the things HR do can also be done by the executive teams, but that doesn't mean they should.

100% of the things the interns do can also be done by me, but it doesn't mean we shouldn't hire interns.
