I don’t blog about work much, because I cherish the ability to pay my bills on time. But - it’s worth exploring some of the asinine words that get tossed around Corporate America. I have prepared the following paragraph using as many of these words as I could remember:
“Empowerment is critical for leveraging paradigm shifts in the business to business and business to consumer enterprise. Granular offshoring and knowledge process outsourcing consistently improve ROI without sacrificing KPI’s, and ensure that modular client-centric best practices receive the highest visibility. Synergy and co-opetition prevent next generation upstarts from the reverse-fulfillment loopholes of Sarbanes-Oxley, and guarantee best-of-breed brick-and-mortar exist strategies.”

I think you’d find bullfighter funny…
It’s a MS Word snap in that I thought of as soon as I saw your post.
Basically, it measure how long your sentences were and then compared that with how many buzz words you used… To high of a score and it warned you that what you were typing ranked high on the bullshit meter.
Enjoy.

What goes up must come down ?
Don’t put all your eggs in one basket ?
Don’t count your chickens before they’re hatched ?

That sounds like some the articles I have to read for school.
I tend to tune out by the second line and just pretend to care what it says.

The sad thing is, I understood it!
Man, I’m glad to be out of the corporate world. Or should I say, “Employee, I am granted extenuating benefits having vacated my position and officially exited the employ of the enterprise network.” I’m also really glad to have switched SOX for socks!
