'Human Resources' is such an unpleasant term, it's like they're referring to stockpiles of office supplies rather than people. 'Personnel' is a far nicer description in my opinion.
Human Resources is so last century, we have a People and Leadership Development Department now mybrainhurts said:

Ok, long story short...
In effect, this is cutting 'cutting a long story short' short.(Or is a whoosh-parrott heading my way?)

Human Resources, f-off what was wrong with Personnel Dept.
Wife has a two-faced condescending bh of a friend who works in HR, speaks in fluent HR-isms, generally thinks she's God's Gift to Business. I go out of my way on introducing her to new people to say "works is Personnel"
Small victories.

"I'm going to go to the shop."
No you're not! You're simply "going to the shop"!
I don't see your objection to this one.No you're not! You're simply "going to the shop"!
Whereas 'I'm going to go to the shop' is future tense, 'I'm going to the shop' is present tense, so it has a completely different meaning.
Edited for brevity.
