Since we’re considering a move back to the US, I’ve been idling perusing job ads; a number of which seek “rock star” this and “ninja” that, which sound ludicrous, to put it in polite terms. On the other side of the coin, once an HR department has you in their clutches, you cease to be a person, and are a “resource”, as in “we had two resources working on the problem”.

Maybe they should just come out and say they are looking for “rock star resources”.
