Not too stupid

Yeah, one of HR's most important roles is Designated Scapegoat.

"We'd love to give you a raise or a promotion or a bonus, honest and truly we do, but HR and their policies won't allow it, those meanies." - your boss telling you that he doesn't care enough about you to fight to get you your raise/promotion/bonus.

IT is our scapegoat here.

Guaranteed they aren't the ones who made the call that no one, even those with a legit need, can get Adobe Acrobat.

Its like $300 a year for a single license, and I've wasted more than that in three weeks dealing with our really lovely stand-in. Can't imagine how cheap business wide licenses are.
