The Horrible Creep of Linguistics

[Corvidia]

Jargon is going to develop in any profession, but business and marketing seems to revel in it. I can't think of any other field that seems to put English through a meat grinder with such zeal.

Most excellent.  I've recently had to read a couple books on business management and they're chock full of that kind of shit.   

It makes up for the fact that the author doesn't know anything about management.

Business management is actually quite simple.  Either you can get the producers (and believe me, as a manager you are NOT a producer) to produce, or you can't.  Personally, I take the easy way out.  I treat my people like adults, and then fire the people that don't respond to that.

Wish my work would fuckin do that.

Our sales guy eats those marketing turds for breakfast.

Lazy management:  It can work for you.

God, don't I know it.  Also the aforementioned horrible noise.  Also massively increased order volume, plus they fired some people for absenteeism.  I'm going to be coming in early at least three days next week.

Anything else is micromanaging, really.  Just don't be the manager that hires an entitled infantile fuckwit, or runs their work ethic into the ground.

You will have slang, abbreviations, and specific terms that get tossed around by the people who actually DO things.  These I'm fine with.  (What a nightmare of specialized language the USPS is!)
Any department that only does "business" or "marketing", is likely very far away from this actual, functional jargon. Shit like the aforementioned seems to be developed in it's stead.

Marketing's job is bullshit in the first place.  And since the best liars all eat their own shit, it shouldn't be too surprising that marketers talk like that.

"Marketing," LOL.

I just leveraged my arse to perform its core competence.

Results were huge deliverables.

As The MGT, they must have better things than their employees.  Including jargon, excluding content.  Perversely.

That kind of gross domestic product could really incent the market.

This is like one of the circle jerk pun sessions, but more amusing.
