“a developer resource is needed”

I hate this phrase. In the last two years the word “resource” has completely replaced words like “developer” or “person” at my company .

I guess since it has been widely claimed that a corporation’s purpose is to make money for the owners and nothing else it makes sense to rid the workplace of any semblance of humanity. No privacy, no loyalty from the side of the company and now slowly people aren’t being addressed as people anymore.
