    My least favourite was my company motto of “Personal, Simple, Brilliant.” It was supposed to be an ethos that ran through the whole company. It was actually just what management expected front line workers to be towards customers, regardless of whether the business leaders were making decisions to screw over the customer and the front line staff or not.

    The amount of times I asked for support only to be shot down and laughed at when I told them “Well, that doesn’t sound very personal, simple or brilliant to me.” when speaking of their management culture.

      Same, but to be honest… attempts to migrate some words to your own language can also get very awkward.

        It’s interoperable, baby. It’s how we get to “done” by energising ourselves, being more agile, adapting to new models, and advocating on behalf of–

        Okay, I can’t do anymore I’m repulsed.

          I hate you for writing that. I hate that those words are present in my daily work life. Fuck corporate language.

    I cannot tell you how many bosses Ive had/ heard say they are going to have a moment of “radical kindness” and then proceed to just RIP into their employees until they cry.

    Corporate double speak is wack.

      This sounds quite specific for something you had to experience multiple times. Hope the people are ok and you found something better to work for.

    Grit. I worked at a massive tech company that found this one and it was fucking everywhere. I don’t mind the basic concept of it, but it was just in every conversation for like 2+ years.
