That’s still creepy and fucked up, but it’d feel like salt in a wound if they still had some bullshit up about “connecting humans to humans to make all humans into better humans” or the like.
The last 2 big tech companies I worked have renamed HR to “people Ops (Operations)” now for the cleaner image despite having the exact same role profile
I hate techbros as much as anyone, but I think calling the department “Human Resources” predates them by a lot.
I didn’t say otherwise. I said it’s part of the liberal dehumanization process. Techbros are only the most recent wave of that process.
The company I work for is wise to the connotation of “human resources” and opted to call the department “people experience”. Now that’s techbro.

In my world it came in during the 90s, concurrent with early tech expansion. Before that it was called Personnel.
