YA THINK?

“Corporate bullshit is a specific style of communication that uses confusing, abstract buzzwords in a functionally misleading way,” said Littrell, a postdoctoral researcher in the College of Arts and Sciences. “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.”

The results of this study will undoubtedly produce a sea change in corporate culture while simultaneously creating opportunities for cross functional collaboration resulting from this paradigm shift. /s

Now I'm going to piggyback off this and open the cupboards on a few more details. When we approach a shift of this magnitude it's important to fail fast and fail often. Tightening those decision loops will really embrace a lean model needed to get the seismic action we're after, think Wozniak, Gates, Musk here. Let's put our best ideas into the meat grinder and make some fucking sausage!

Jesus H. I thought they probably skipped corporate shitspeak at those particular companies. That's the cringiest mental pic of the night.

Ouch.

Mad respect for making me cringe so hard.

I was just going after names a dude bro management type would know. They're so full of shit, lol. I like that they can't tell when you're mocking them though, they hear their language and accept it.
