Thing about “resources” - a personal post

I don’t respect people who call others “resources”. A person is way more complex than a chair or a computer. People have feelings, there are social interactions between them. To make a team it takes time and skill to make it happen. Moving people around against their will is bringing nothing good. There are even managers who created a team and are working with them for years and still don’t know these people’s names. On top of that I hear managers say “four resources here, three here, we need a total of sixteen resources for this project”. It’s at least rude and disrespectful. I will go further – this is bringing a person down to being a number. Think about it – where did that happen massively last time? You can probably guess from the picture. In Nazi concentration camps.
