Not really, though you are probably just making jokes.
"Resources" can surely mean "assets" (note that the relevant resources are selected...), which is not at all diminishing or ghastly, and also honestly means "what is available to fulfil a need". Implication of «expoitation» (or, even farther, "expendability") is not necessary, though "being used" is surely there - but that is the job itself.
"Capital" implies "investment" - what you invest is the principal, "capital", while the additional returns are the secondary part -, not necessarily that «ownership» that implies a loss of freedom: contractually, you allow your employer to make your work part of an investment. Again, it is the job itself. The capital is what you have invested and returns after having brought fruit: again, they are assets.
Terms have broad semantics, it is never a good idea to interpret with partiality. :)
Edit: I am not denying that some employers may de facto as if interpret "resources" and "capital" dishumanly: I am stating that the fault is not in the jargon.
