They have a point though. They are telling you to phrase things in a way that makes you look better.

How does speaking like a braindead MBA make you look better?

[–] MousePotatoDoesStuff@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Because that's the target audience of the speech.

Stooping to new lows do be the 2026 mantra

How else are you going to become an executive and have all the ~~slaves~~ employees do whatever you want?

[–] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

Because generally you're justifying your promotion to an MBA anymore. The days of being promoted purely on merit because your boss understands the work you do are LONG gone.

Everyone likes to shit on MBA language, but it's simply the language of a subculture.

I know exactly what freeing up bandwidth to work on a higher priority project means. It's not nonsense. Sure, they could say they "sent useless work to the intern so they could do something more important". But that's not the language the culture uses.

What's next, are we going to shit on ebonics too? How about shitting on tech speak? It's not any less incomprehensible to those outside the bubble.

Anyway, that's not to you specifically, just this whole thread reeks of a superiority complex.

You’re comparing:

A group of English dialects spoken by an ethnic group
A field that has technical terms with precise meaning
A manufactured group of buzzwords largely appropriated from real technical terms meant to obscure meaning to outsiders and sometimes even hide criminal activity

These are not the same. And none of those are a subculture.

A lot of these examples also seem to require you to function differently, or to lie about what you've been doing.

Like how during the war on terror, we didn't torture people, we interrogated them using enhanced methods.

It doesn't make you look better if you're shirking your own work to work on stuff other people want you to do. "Clearing bandwidth for the important task" is a fancy way of saying you're making someone else do your work so you can work on something that someone else considers a higher priority.

Seen that bite helpers in the ass more than once.
