[BlahBlahYouToo]

isn't everyone in the company a human resource?

HR sounds better than "The Whinery".

 

[highland145]

Not the zombie workers.

You insensitive Liveist! They are "Pulse Disadvantaged".

 

[Herr Kutz]

Political correctness changed it from women's jobs to human resources.

That's the point.

IT deals with information technology.
Accounting deals with accounting.
HR deals with the human resources, namely the employees.

 

[Krazy4Real]

It sounds better.

 

[Pardus]

Political correctness changed it from women's jobs to human resources.

Administrative-sounding “Personnel Department” was replaced by HR over many years and now is rarely heard or seen.

Hags Reunite?

Why don't we use "personnel" anymore? Human resources makes you sound no different than a stapler. Though that would describe some of my co-workers.

Can't win so I'm taking my mostly able, healthy, alive , 2 armed/well armed self and buy some more zombie max ammo. ZR is going to have some openings.

I'd like to know why it is only women in that department. Every company I've ever worked for, not a single man in HR.

 

[Macamus Prime]

Ready for this one; Human Capital.

Slavery now = Internship! :awe:

 

[SandEagle]

same reason you're called BBYT: lack of originality, mundane, boring. don't forget platitudinous.

 

[Linflas]

For the same reason the War Department is no longer called the War Department.
