I am officially a corporate sell-out

[GasX]

I used the word "actioned" in an email that went to both internal people and clients today. :disgust:

The next thing you know, I'll be "speaking to" the issues and "minuting" my action items...

Just shoot me...

 

[DeadByDawn]

We have "synergy"

 

[Flyback]

Once you realize that synergy is good you will be part of the paradigm shift of web 2.0 goodness. Its about user-driven content that facilitates er um something.

 

[jhayx7]

Thanks for "efforting"!

Context?

Why couldn't you have used a real word like, well, use?

It's all about empowering people--about change-driven systems and providing dynamic solutions. Leveraging the synergy can help us breakthrough to provide a holistic solution that not only acts to give us more diversity, but helps the next generation perspective to gravitate, and, ideally, hit the tipping point that then allows us to be proactive in our integration solutions. I wish you would understand that already!

(I don't know whether to laugh or cry that I hear this kind of crap regularly )

I'm sorry, what did you say?

You're not a corporate sellout; you're an educated business person that realizes the need for corporate-speak in your work environment in order to facilitate communication commensurate with/appropriate to, your current business situation.

IOW, you're a well-spoken businessman. There's nothing wrong or incorrect w/what you did/said today.

People that don't know how to communicate at that level are still doing tech support or working in the mail room for a reason. Not that there's anything wrong with that. All jobs are important; it takes every cog and gear in the machine, working in unison, to make the machine run.

But not every cog and gear was destined to be a Management Gear.

something something paradigm, something something something complete.

I hope that was purposeful satire

Sheesh is that POS buzzword still around! I was first intorduced to the concept of "paradigm shift" in a CE seminar in the late 80's. It makes even less sense now than it did then. Is the academic community really that stale?, come up with some new freaking ideas already:disgust: I thought that was replaced by "thinking outside the box" which is equally as stupid.
