Saba Throws Another Annoying Acronym in Pool

The headline reveals the tone of the article, and may I add that the problem isn't just that it's another acronym, it's a rather annoying one. The phrase 'human capital' has been making the rounds recently as a replacement for 'human resources,' but the implication is that an institutions's staff are not merely assets of a company, they are actually owned by the company, for after all, isn't capital something that is owned? Saba does the world a disservice by perpetuating this attitude, and while it probably plays well in the boardroom, it will be met with distrust on the shop floor.
