A pet peeve of mine is not when companies or HR departments refer to people as resources, but when we in IT do so. I'll be in planning meetings with IT Managers, Directors and Project Managers, and someone will say 'I have one resource you can use for 2 months, but then I need an additional resource for the next 3 months'. I have to stop, collect myself and restate what they said back to them ' You mean you have Joe available to work on our team for 2 months, but you'll need Judy to join your team for the next 3 months'.We know and work with these people every day, and I'm a firm believer that how we say things and talk about people is very important.
Well said. You'd think an innate & simple concept like this would have survived the organizational management claptrap over the last 50 years. But, apparently not.
