The HR department at your company is the company's advocate they are not your advocate.

Is this also true outside America? You know, the kinds of places with unions, labor rights and laws that actually favor the employee?

It is still true, at least in Europe. I mean, they're not actually trying to destroy your life, you know, but they're after the company's best interests. They might help you, and might make things not the worst they possibly can, because that'll give a bad rep, but they're not your friend.
