Being referred to as a “resource” is dehumanizing enough. But Matt Perman notes the actual danger of corporations considering their employees to be “resources” or “overhead”.
I’ve long been of the mind that the change from “Personnel” to “Human Resources” was a purposeful step in a long line of dehumanization and devaluing. However, I think that Matt supports the corporate corollary to Occam’s Razor: Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.
