I used to work at a place that actually changed the name from Human Resources Dept. to Human Capital Dept. and none of the higher ups could figure out why that pissed everybody off.

Frankly “people team” is one I’ve been seeing and I think that’s disingenuous or condescending or something. I don’t know what I think it should be.
