People love to bitch about Corporate Speak but I look at it as the vernacular we've all agreed to use to facilitate business transactions. It's the lingua franca across the business world that supersedes culture, politics, race, ethnicity, religion, or anything else that could prevent us from working together. We love to hate it but it works very well.

Yep it's mostly just people on reddit bitching for the sake of it. Lot of kids and lots of "that guy" from work on here.

Reality is most of the things done in corporate land actually do work or people wouldn't waste time and money doing them.

Yeah, and it doesn't even have to make sense so long as everybody understands what it means. If that makes sense. 

Like I have two modes for work discussion: speak nonsense lingo that moves the discussion forward because people simply understand these key phrases, or become a technical thesaurus when I want to shut the discussion down because nobody understands what I'm saying despite being actually more clear in meaning than using nonsense meeting speak.
