“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” said Littrell. “Unlike technical jargon, which can sometimes make office communication a little easier, corporate bullshit confuses rather than clarifies. It may sound impressive, but it is semantically empty.”
I used to hear the word strategy used so much in corporate meetings for trivial things, that I cringe when I hear it now. Even if it’s used appropriately.
That’s a good strategy.
Well, duh!?
This user clearly requires additional cross-functional upskilling
Will non-functional skilling do? I am going for pilates class.
I don’t embrace corporate bullshit. I utilize it synergistically.
Well yeah, they decided to embrace corporate bullshit, that is already a terrible decision.
Sounds like correlation to me… People who pad their vacuous takes with corporate bullshit are probably not bringing all that much to begin with
But, are paid more to do so. Hunh. Go figure.
Does not sound like a worse decision to me…
You might wanna zoom out and look beyond your own mouth to feed. Take another peek from that perspective.
Jobs with a lot of corporate speak do not benefit society anyway. They are designed to protect the ownership class from being made responsible for treating workers like crap. Being crap at that job and taking more money from capitalists, sounds like a good deal for society.

I think it is essentially a power strategy or power demonstration. It is a signal about the relationship you have, or the relationship the manager wants to have. It tells you: ",What you know and think, your capability to reason, the value of having a conversation based on logic, facts, and insight - does not count anything to me. I am here the one who tells you what to believe.
And this is very similar to religious or political doctrines, which require you to believe absurd stuff.
And also the toxically positive brand ambassador is on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
