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

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?
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.
