What the heck kind of HR dept makes financial decisions? That company is all sorts of messed up.

None of them, but Reddit is full of programmers who all hate HR so it’s cool to think that Hr has any control over department size 😂

This site has hate boners for any job that isn’t one of the couple stereotypical redditor jobs like IT or dog walker.

On top of that, the concept of HR as a pure compliance function is deeply outdated (or only applies to tiny organizations). Any organization that isn’t using its HR function to better compete for, reward, and develop employees is missing out on talent.

For sure.
HR serves the company as any employee does, but part of serving the company is attracting and retaining talent, which can be in the employee's best interest too. It's not like they're pure evil (or pure good), they just have a role that sometimes aligns with what the employee wants for themselves, and sometimes it doesn't, and people should understand that.

Yeah this villainizing of HR is insane. Just realize they don’t have any sort of duty to you, and treat them like an arm of the company as they literally are

None, but it is HR's job to tell the employees "too bad the company doesn't have enough money to give out raises this year" or "We can't afford to hire more people for your department." So HR always gets shit on. Ya know, shoot the messenger and all that.

Funny, every job I have ever worked at had HR just get a list of open positions and a salary range for it. Possibly a priority version so they knew what to aim for more heavily.
They never decided how much to budget for hires or even pay raises, that was other departments.

The person didn't say they made the decision, but they obviously would know if financial would allow for more workers/higher wages.
