I'll go ahead and say I mostly agree. I don't like being called some kind of sink, evaporator, diminisher or resource-terminator. Though granted, in English, these connotations are not as prevalent as in my language.

In my language, employers are routinely called "work-givers", employees are "work-takers", even though we have a perfectly fine "employee" term. I hate how it introduces a power relationship into the terms themselves.

But I also know it's a lost fight. I once specifically used the neutral term for employee in a work contract I wrote - which was best practice just a few decades ago. It was immediately changed.
