Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

What else would a person manage other than resources?

I continue to be unemployed. Hence, I look at a large quantity of help wanted ads. Some of the job titles are absurd. One that sticks with me is:

Resource Manager

What else would a person manage. Managers manage resources—the end. Resources include:

• time
• money
• material goods

What else is there? Of course there are people, but I don’t use the words “manage people.” I prefer the old adage,

manage things, lead people

Of course, I am still unemployed, so it is obvious that I don’t understand all this works, so heed my advice at your peril.
