Almost always best if you can meet and discuss issues with the person directly in charge of writing the check. Unless you are able to use the person you are talking with as a stepping stone to help sell your suggestions to the person in charge, it is best to go straight to the source ahead of time. ~ Jenn McGroary I agree 100% with #10.

Thank you for this very interesting perspective on HR you share with us. I am a big fan of HR becoming a strategic partner in a company's culture dissemination, however, as so often it happens, this is rarely the case. I very much enjoy reading your opinions and insights.
