Must be something on the user end...I hear human resources and do not think at all of something to be used up and tossed. As for 'on demand', I always assumed it was a term being applied to for example demanding a ppv movie, no human involvement, just a person 'demanding' a computer do something. I'm not sure I care if I demand a computer do something. This reminds of that non issue from several years ago about complaints about calling HD's 'slave' and 'master'.
More important things to worry about. Mike On 7/4/07, Myers, Jeffrey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
feel the same about the term "human resources," which accurately depicts workers as something to be used up, discarded, and replaced (if possible, by cheaper or even non-human resources). We could think of more pleasant terms, but at least there's no hiding the underlying philosophy with "on-demand" and "human resources."
