Where I work, "Human Resources" is just in charge of benifits/payroll/etc. Assigning people to projects is done by the resource manager, a completly unrelated posistion.
- lostcolony 8y agoBy the 'resource manager'. Point stands. But, no place has HR assign resources.
- sidlls 8y agoI manage my team. When I discuss projects with my manager and the senior engineering leadership, they will almost always refer to staff as resources, e.g. "team X needs a SOA resource", "team Y needs extra QA resources" and so on. It's distasteful to me; I always refer to my team and other engineers as engineers or by name, not as "resources."
