    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

      Honestly, capital sounds better. Resources are something you comsume. Capital is something you invest with/in. People are just used to being called resources.
