Is so I am all over that. I work for a large Yankee consultancy and the senior management talk as if they have a bet on to see who can get the most bollocks management buzz words, acronyms or abbreviations into a sentence. It really is stupid sometimes as generally the majority of the staff they are presenting to have no idea what they are talking about (especially as for say 70% English isn't their first language). However, I'm sure if I gave them a technical presentation and used industry known acronyms and abbreviations throughout they'd complain bitterly and still not see the irony....... We leverage everything, ideas, money, projects, concepts, resources. |

I just received an e-mail from a potential supplier referring to their contact details as their "co-ordinates".
Now considering going with a competitor based on that alone. |
