The best HR can do for the success of the company is to play Minesweeper. The less they bother the employees the better. Annual Self Appraisal forms and all this (censored)

    Therefore, put a large mine underneath your chair, and in all of the cubes surrounding yours, put a very large red number 8.

    Yes, they can be terrible. I think the problem again in your example is in implementation and not the concept of having some sort of review. Overzealous HR staff that don't understand the work the department actually does shouldn't be designing some one-size-fits-all form. They should be looking for the requirements of the team being met, and nothing besides. HR is there to serve the needs of the company. The company does not exist to bend over to (or for) HR.
