The biggest clue was when they started referring to us as a "resource". We're just another input on their spreadsheet.

    I used to work at a place that actually changed the name from Human Resources Dept. to Human Capital Dept. and none of the higher ups could figure out why that pissed everybody off.

    Honestly people being either a “resource” or “capital” still makes people sound like they’re vespene gas or something
