Oh, no... they don't add people. They add "resources."

  Saw this in a software as well recently. There was a grid/table for adding/removing employees. But the title said "Resources".

  Yet they sure don't like being referred to as "Powerpoint resources".

  Even though it was 15 years ago, I still vividly remember the disquiet I felt the first time I heard the term "human resources". It felt so Soylent Green to me. Even though he's not universally popular around here, I'm going to admit to liking Seth Godin's "Let's call it the talent department" argument: http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/02/marketing-hr.html http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/02/marketing-hr...

  ...and most of the time the "resources" are aggregated into "full time equivalents." :-(
