definition of asset:
1. A useful or valuable quality, person, or thing; an advantage or resource: proved herself an asset to the company.
2. A valuable item that is owned.
The accounting term is closer to the second definition. I assume that you don't think a company should consider a worker to be "a valuable item that is owned."
- adiusmus 8y agoGiven how I’ve been treated by various corporations, I’d say that plenty of companies consider workers as “a valuable item that is owned”. I had a clause in one contract they tried to insert that stated I was not allowed to work in any company that was a client of theirs or start a business of my own that might compete against them. My lawyer laughed out loud at that clause.
