I think this is the working-adult equivalent of boring teenage angst, but it's new to me.
I've made it through a decade of writing code for money without having to respond straight-facedly to sentences like these. But... dude. Seriously? Someone wrote these down and they weren't kidding? Even a little?
"Operationalize best in class interactive marketing solutions."
"Empower teams with shared goals."
"Innovate and enrich brand extension products, tools and partners."
"Improve cross-functional alignment of teams and business units."
Yeah. These are all real quotes from a real document with a really unfortunate acronym in the title, having to do with "stuff my company wants to do in 2008". No wonder my throat hurts. It's from the not-screaming all day.
Does it have to be this bad? Do people just build up immunity? Ack!
