I was in a meeting today about being less corporate. Irony everywhere.
One guy was killing it. Used "leverage" 10 times. "Vertical solution strategy" was good. "10 year Crystal Ball" was particularly nice. But the cherry was "streamlining efficiency models to accelerate productivity."
I actually wrote these down during the meeting.

Maybe I'll save that one for a punk song.

Eeeewww.....just caught this on the NYT, speaking of sedated militaristic jingoisms...
“ ‘Ally’ is a legal term of art,” said Tommy Vietor, a spokesman with the National Security Council.

Effective imediately, we are relpacing the term "captive" with "Global Inhouse Center" GIC is much friendlier to remotely located employees.
That is all.

I think this topic has legs, so at a high level going forward lets circle back and make sure we are all on the same page before we are out of runway.

"social business provider"
what?People should learn endurance; they should learn to endure the discomforts of heat and cold, hunger and thirst; they should learn to be patient when receiving abuse and scorn; for it is the practice of endurance that quenches the fire of worldly passions which is burning up their bodies.

Even worse than the biz speak is when someone misuses a word over and over and over. Had a guy several rungs up from me (hard to believe they exist, no?) use the work "inadvertent" instead of "inverted" in front of a major customer the other day. Same guy also pronounces "button" as "buh- in".
The look the guy gave me was priceless.No Roger, No Rerun, No Rent

^In the same vein... my first boss out of college used to use a phrase all the time incorrectly. He used to say "for all intensive purposes" in person and email at least a couple times a week. Drove me bananas.
