I hate the word ‘Consumer’ or I mockingly call it ‘CONSOOMER’. Because that’s to imply everyone in the world is just cattle, but with wallets. We’re no longer customers. We’re consumers now. And a consumer’s purpose is to consume shit, whatever is put out there. Got money? Shut up and consume, it’s what corporate interests and capitalism itself thrive on. Consume and consume.
It’s supposed to imply resources for the humans in the company as opposed to corporate resources.
I’m sure that’s what they’re implying.
It’s supposed to imply exactly what it says, resources for the company that are human
It implies interchangeability also, which is one of the reasons it’s shit
I work in an Agile team, and in meetings with management one of the ways you can tell they don’t understand agile is when they talk about the resources available between several teams - as if counting the test staff tells you how good a set of teams are at testing
HR never works for you, they’re solely to protect the company.
