It is for this reason that I doggedly push back on the use of "resources" when talking specifically about people; I semi-frequently correct this mis-use (IMO) of language.

If you ask "do we have enough resources to compete in segment X?" and you mean resources of all types [including people], that's fine. If you ask "could I have two additional resources on this project" and you mean exactly people, I'll speak up every time.
