I was working at a call center (pray for me, I'm out of there by years now), and they changed 'HR' to 'Human Capital Control', apparently according to one of the middle managing shitfucks I encountered, anything else was 'Pinko labor focussed, you work for US, we OWN your time'.

Never had a better time keying someones car and slashing their tires.
