My theory is that HR is where mean girls from high school end up. It’s the one place in the professional world where catty petty gatekeeping, obfuscation, and manipulation of social pecking orders are a plus instead of making you a toxic pariah.
My sister was a mean girl in high school, now she’s a lawyer for the State Attorney’s office where she lives. Her job is to build cases against innocent people so the state can dump them into the prison system.
Mean girls all end up in HR, Nursing, Law, or working a pencil pushing job gatekeeping access to entitlement programs.
There is certainly a mean girls to HR, nurses, and teachers pipeline, just like male bullies to cops pipeline. It’s always the jobs in which you have control over others’ lives that attract that type.

The nurse mean girls are a unique bunch as it’s that special combination of mean girl with savior complex.
