Topic Name: "Human Resource"
Message Name: Does the term "Human Resource" imply expendability
Date Posted: 04/20/2001
Message: I have recently come to believe that the term Human Resources implies expendability. I'm sure many of you agree, especially those of you who've been laid off recently. I asked myself why it changed from "Personnel" to "HR" in almost all companies and came to the conclusion that "Resources," human o otherwise, are more expendable than "Personnel." Anyone else think so?
