- krageon 4y agoThe term is dehumanising and has no place in adult conversations.
- alistairSH 4y agoSure, and it's use should remain academic. If a manager is using "human capital" as a replacement for their actual team, there's a problem.
- function_seven 4y agoWe've all been using the term "Human Resources" for what, like 20 years now? 30? It's always rubbed me the wrong way. What was wrong with "Personnel"?
- yunwal 4y agoYeah, to be clear, I have no issue with it’s use in macro-Econ, my issue is a C-Suite calling their employees and their specialized knowledge human capital to their faces.
