PMFJI, but one of the reasons Dilbert is so popular is that office workers find much truth in his stereotypes. And the "evil HR director" is one of his regulars. If that weren't a common perception, the cartoons wouldn't be as popular as they are. Not that all HR directors are evil. Or that most, or even many, of them aspire to being evil. But the nature of their jobs tends to turn them into certain kinds of people (or else, the jobs attract people who have those latent traits to begin with). All stereotypes have a grain of reality buried in them, or they wouldn't persist as stereotypes.
