When all of the corporate world decided that a personnel department was passe' and their personnel were resources or as you state capital to be consumed or spent. This was the same time the supply side lie was being planted in the collective psyche and short term profit became the holy grail.

Show me a company that still pays attention to long term strategy and still has a personnel department and I'll show you a stable place to work.

Disgust doesn't begin to cover it.
