I joined a fancy-pants management consultancy in New York, bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. My supervisor asked me to minimize the FTE number on a spreadsheet. I asked, "what's FTE?" They told me not to worry about it and get to work. After I finished, I demanded to know what is an FTE. It's "Full-time Equivalents." I was unknowingly planning a massive layoff. They have to trick you until you're numb because no human with a soul wants to fire people.

I had one of those calendars that had a new word for each day. I would intentionally use thos words in meetings just to see if I could get them to stick. Worked a few times, would hear the word in other meetings or newsletters

OMG, this is so accurate. Love it.

Double speak is certainly a useful tool. Understanding it is even more useful

Thieves cant is thieves cant. Used by thieves.

was that a babelfish

more like a babble fish cause he's translating all that corpo babble into what's actually being meant

So a babblebabelfish?

Fun fact corporate jargon is made up by execs who ruin your company!

A Mil doctor once said to our Mil plumber, "Do you have an interpersonal communication dysfunction?" when the plumber wasn't buying his bullshit about discarding body parts in the sewer. In the Bosnian war.

They don't want the rank and file understanding what's actually going on. Corpo-speak is almost another language entirely.

I've translated to execs for years. Luckily mine were intelligent and always open. I did learn to nearly completely avoid the word no, which is important when what you're saying is complicated and needs to be disassembled. I enjoy my suggestions being questioned and at times they even thought of something I didn't. If you have no one able to translate back and forth is when there's a problem. And you have to trust your subject matter experts, to an extent.

I strongly recommend looking up "The Gervais Principle". It's a fascinating read and the best explanation that I've found so far of how companies work.

I personally can't stand all the acronyms. They vary from company to company and it takes a while to learn the new ones. Are you really saving that much extra time by using them? My official roll is called ADERP. I can't tell you what it means exactly. I think it is just to confuse the rest of the company into leaving us alone or to not be able to find my department if they try looking for it.

They are how you recognize that it's time to sell your shares.

And it’s measurable too based on how quickly someone can win Buzzword Bingo.

The word I was going to say was “justify their job”. But I’ll accept ruin.
MrHappySmiles
Howbout “aid & abet other execs”, will this be acceptable? 😂
stayingalive4life
It’s…acceptable.

I don't understand this trend of taking an actual comedy skit from ticktock or whatever and then doing bare minimum animation over it. It adds nothing, just removes original actors and gives zero credit.
Shuey
Animation is cool. Chill bruh haha
BradBehavior
That's basically 5/7's of the internet.
JayEnfield
Sounds like you understand it perfectly. Person B wants money, so grabs Person A's content and does something that's juuuuuuuust enough to be "transformative". Like "reaction" content. Remember all that?
MisterLemons
It makes it more palatable for people like me. I don't wanna watch you talk, I wanna watch the cartoon do it and many others like it on one channel that I can stumble across one day

The actual short on Youtube has credit in the description
Like2Fox
Happy to see that, thank you

I wasn't aware these have original sources. This creator makes a lot of animations.
Like2Fox
They make very little actual animation. Nobody in these scenes are even moving. And it's all overlaid over existing material sourced elsewhere without credit
wingweaver415
Ok
gablestout
The animator credits the original audio in EVERY SINGLE SHORT in either the title or description
SlateBlastcrunch
Dude, chill. The credit was given and the bird is cute. I'd like to see you do better.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
What's the original source for the audio?
ecoterrorpriest
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1T_cq_CcaDI That's the original source for the script. If the audio was run through a filter or re-read by an AI voice isn't obvious to me, but that's what the animator is linking to on youtube.
BigDaddysMeatWagon
Honestly the animated version is better.
garbuhj
I dislike that style of video, imo the animation is better
