Ni> I've even heard people refer to employees as "resources".

I work in IT, and spent most of my years managing support teams. I refer to the employees we support as "customers", and would get strange looks from some of my teams.

There was a feeling among some of the techs that the customers didn't have a choice, so my analogy didn't work. I'd ask them how they felt about going to the DMV[1], and would they want to model that experience?
