I'm torn on how to respond to them.

5 years of pleading for a business analyst and or a jr data engineer has become "I need a support resource".

To me a resource is a person or thing that generates value.

I dont see "support resource" as a dehumanizing or offensive phrasing.

I might live to change my tune though... if I can get some support resources in my life.

I'd argue it depends on context. When it comes to corporate budgeting, 'resource' is appropriate, as it could be a contracted company, a tool, or an individual. When it comes to actual manpower, I think referring by title is reasonable.

But in the context of hiring and HR, "resource" is the only term they understand, especially if there is trouble making the ROI clear
