I don't like the term "human resources." It sounds like people are like lumps of coal or something.

All of those 80’s and 90’s buzz words desperately need retired.

Me, too. It used to be called personnel. I don’t know why they thought human resources was better.

That's very perceptive. In fact, that is what is intended. Remember the old term? "Personnel"? People. People, as opposed to 'human animals' to be used for the benefit of the corporation. The term human resources derives from behavioral psychology.

I renamed my husband’s employer’s department “INhuman Resources”. The droids that work in that department are anything but humanitarian.

I remember thinking it was a joke the first time I heard it.

Oh man do I agree. One of my pet peeves. What was wrong with the term "personnel"? At least it mentions a 'person' and not the whole human race!
