This is literally true, managers refer to workers as "resources". A resource is something that you use up and then discard. At least they are in their own way being honest about it.
- notaslave 6y agoReferring to me as a "resource" immediately destroys any good will I have for that person. I can no longer see them as a human from that point on wards. I refer to managers as belonging to one or a mix of the "slave trader", "parasitic" or "demonic" classes. In my 10+ years in this profession, I am yet to come across a "manager" who doesn't fall under this categorization.
- taurath 6y agoHR stands for Human Resources so that’s somewhat common. It’s also common in businesses to treat their employees like that. Why’s this different? Because it’s like a return to factory line work before we had things like mandatory break times. When people are pissing in bottles because their delivery quota is so high they can’t take bathroom breaks, when every move they make is scrutinized by software, respect for the human worker’s needs is reduced even from the “human resource” perspective. The point of economic progress shouldn’t be more dehumanizion for ever cheaper products while asset prices explode.
