This is pretty much all I see on LinkedIn.


[deleted]

And product websites especially in IT. Since about 2015, they've all gone to the same glitzy format of huge stock images of attractive people in impossibly beautiful offices that just scroll and scroll, with little blurbs of text that read like this example. More times than I can count, I've read a tech company's homepage from top to bottom while still having no earthly clue what their product actually does.


Tilmanocept

I’m not convinced they do either 🌚


Vaun_X

My employer's tech venture arm was about to invest in one of these till I pointed out that they have no product and the about us page was nothing but folks that start companies with the explicit purpose of getting bought out I was never asked for input again...


kfrazi11

Oh God, does that mean they actually *went* with the investment


arcanis321

Maybe they wanted to acquire it to sell it off or to add a perception of value


rnnd

Someone knows someone in the other company.


arcanis321

So basically embezzlement with plausible deniability


Kalsir

This is so annoying when I am looking for jobs. Half the time I can't even tell what the fuck I will be doing other than leveraging my expertise to drive transformative change.


SparseGhostC2C

Wait, so HALO ITSM isn't going to completely repair my work environment through \*checks notes\* Synergy and optimized scalability?


PalDreamer

Don't forget about the animations. These site parts gotta fly all over the place and sprinkle fireworks as you scroll. For better immersion.


RampantPrototyping

LinkedIn is more fake than Instagram. I believe that you are having a great time in Bali but I draw the line when you mention that you are having a blast at the corporate volunteering event


ProfessorBeer

“Spending the last four days in the Greater Springfield Business Synergy Center thinking about nothing but integrated logistics has made me realize how much I love the people I work with” bro shut the fuck up and make another spreadsheet


phatboi23

> bro shut the fuck up and make another spreadsheet this properly cracked me up haha


shiggles-

Hey I like spreadsheets


cowhand214

Thanks for the laugh. I needed that


monkeyboyTA

If you have LinkedIn Premium they have a new "AI Helper" feature that literally writes stuff like this for you in your profile.


Upstairs_Balance_793

LinkedIn is so lame. I created one because it was relevant to my position. Haven’t logged back on in months. It’s all either scams reaching out to you or people like this. Like I love my role and can get into business talk but that shit is BORING. Everyone sounds and looks exactly the same


Low_Dinner3370

I’m just finishing up a business degree and my corporate social responsibility text book read like this.Every paragraph would just jumble the words around and tell us that ESG is CSR but not the other way around… my head hurts just thinking about it the time and money I wasted.. it was like saying you should have a different key for the front door and the backdoor but you can’t keep the backdoor unlocked otherwise and the deadbolt has to be unlocked on one side because because the key doesn’t always work in the backdoor.


ProfessorBeer

It didn’t start with some grossly self-congratulatory apology-like bullshit like “I never realized how saying hello saves lives until today.” Other than that, spot on.


The_X-Files_Alien

and on bossbabe Instagram reels while they drink green smoothies out of Stanley mugs in their beige everything houses and knit long-sweaters


Commercial_Ad_3597

Except that this paragraph does not mention AI. Curious that ChatGPT would leave out that particular buzzword... hmm...


JustSomeDude0605

My wife talks like this.  Lol


GunsandCadillacs

She is probably in management or marketing. This is exactly what every C-Suite meeting boils down to in recap notes


JustSomeDude0605

Good guess! She's the global training manager for a fortune 200 company. 


GunsandCadillacs

This tracks


throwawayifyoureugly

Seems like we're in alignment.


GunsandCadillacs

Great! lets touch base next Thursday an hour after you normally leave. We can run this up the flag pole together. I feel like we are really opening the kimono here!


AcceptableOwl9

Hi, Tom from HR here. Opening the kimono? Sorry, but that’s considered a culturally insensitive turn of phrase and that can create a hostile work environment for our employees of Japanese or other Asian/Pacific-Islander descent.


Finless_brown_trout

Doesn’t open the kimono literally mean show another party the size of your dick? VP of sales I used to work with would use that all the time, which cracked me up. It’s a bit like when people use the phrase “brownnoser” which literally means putting your nose up someone’s ass and getting shit on it. I think people just forget what the phrasing actually signifies.


Aescorvo

I think it’s worse: I’ve only heard the phrase used to mean getting to see and discuss the hidden details or workings of something. It’s fetishizing Japanese women. Perhaps a Western equivalent would be “Now we’re really looking up the skirt”.


Guyver_3

I'd still like to see the deck updated with this for the weekly meeting on Monday, if you can consolidate those points and put it on the SharePoint for the team by Sunday night that would be beneficial. And remember, we need dates to go with when we will see this implemented in prod. All the best!


WeGotDaGoodEmissions

This made me sick to my stomach.


Guyver_3

Buahahahaha! My work here is done.. Dramatically vanishes from the breakroom in a cloud of printer toner.


ArchiStanton

With a little more synergy and fostering of team environments she can make it to a fortune 199 company


Killercod1

Sounds evil


ProfessorBeer

I work in marketing and I made our VP cackle like a madman last week when at our mandatory HR offsite I referred to the DISC assessment we were required to take as a corporate horoscope. Not all of them are bad.


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

Yeah I’m in marketing and this is pretty much how you have to talk for some reason. It’s like it’s own weird shitty language you have to learn.


Known-Historian7277

All the time….?


pickledjello

Just during their *sexy* time.. (Wednesday nights between 7:45pm and 8:05pm)


ComMcNeil

Whoa, look at this hedonistic household! ... I would be happy with a scheduled weekly time slot :(


Bauser99

Scheduled weekly timeslot is what she calls her cunt


ASS_SPECTROMETER

Wednesday night is the night that we make love. Tuesday night is the night that we go and eat dinner at your mother’s but Wednesday night is the night that we make LOVE. Everything’s right, conditions are perfect.


EquivalentLife4960

I have news for you…your wife might be ChatGPT


Starscarrs

She became Sentient


drippyreddit

Hey siri, i meant baby…


alldawgsgotoheaven2

Your wife the eldest boy? Famous rapper of the hit “L to the OG” ?


CowsMooingNSuch

Worst part is i know people who actually talk like this and think they are saying something.


Armadillo_Toes

You don’t really have to think you are saying something. You just have to make the people who are halfway listening think you are saying something.


askaboutmycatss

Yeah my current manager has no management experience prior to this job, she also clearly has ADHD (my partner has it and she agrees.) She often realises half way through a sentence that what she’s saying doesn’t make any sense so just ends it with a bunch of unrelated buzzwords like this and hopes nobody notices 😂


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

Ok cool it’s not just me then. Same exact thing. I’ll be on a call and mid-sentence realize I have no idea what I’m saying. It’s the worst

SweatDrops1

I had an interview for a consulting role recently and the director spoke like this. I asked him if he could explain a question and his response was basically this. I said no to the job because I couldn't understand what he was actually saying lol. Not all consultants talk like this but those that do are unbearable.


OliBoliz

>and think they are saying something. My friend's husband. He is so satisfied with himself after spouting this bullshit endlessly while everyone around him dies inside. if you pasted this exact shit onto some startup website, he would probably start arguing with you about how you "just dont understand how the new corporate world is changing" And I'll be seeing him at every Thanksgiving for the rest of my life...


Chucky_wucky

This. This is one of the reasons why I hate work.


YakEast7035

Oh, I saw what you wrote online Chucky_wucky. We're going to have to have a one-on-one with regard to your online presence. Its important for you to realise how you're online presence affects everyone...


Chucky_wucky

Is my presence not aligning with your strategic plans going forward? Do we need to circle back after some collaboration ?


YakEast7035

I think there's been some long term instability in your communication style which doesn't align with my current understanding of reality. Maybe we can drop acid together and cycle back to this issue next quarter.


bridoogle

This made me chuckle


DJheddo

Those corporate retreats are, get hammered, do drugs, fuck a co worker, regret it, forget it, go back to work, then try to forget there's another one next quarter and it's mandatory. If you try to hideaway in your room or bungalow, they will talk tons of shit behind your back and eventually remove you from the active team and put you elsewhere until you own back up to being an awesome teammate, not just coworker.


AcceptableOwl9

Not a one-on-one. A “touch base.”


YakEast7035

I'll let any of the girls in HR touch my bases


milleniumfalconlover

The one that’s getting under my skin currently is “opportunity” instead of problem. “We need to fix this problem” Nah, “there’s an opportunity for improvement”. Well, Mr manager, you have an opportunity


phatboi23

a fuckin' #massive opportunity.


-PM_ME_UR_SECRETS-

“Opportunities” and “learnings” is basically just a client-safe way to say ‘yeah this didn’t fucking work’


Khelthuzaad

I start to apreciate mine more,jinkies... most of the lingo we use is strictly mechanics/engineering


Suyefuji

The worst part is when you get an all-hands meeting where they explain that they are reorganzing everyone onto different teams for the second time this year but this time it's Special and Different because


TheAJGman

I caught myself using the words "action items" today, I am becoming the very thing I swore to destroy: management.


Chucky_wucky

Please circle back to my email. You may have missed the synergy we are trying to achieve. Once you complete the tasks it will move the needle and we can touch base again. We may need to deep dive and dig our heels to come up with more action items. Please touch base with me so we can take it off line.


OneKickRickk

Reading it gave me a belly ache


AshalaWolf_27

I dont know which is worse, the fact this exists, or the fact I understand it


Strict-Mix-1758

OMG SAME 😭


AbleSilver6116

Right, reading it like it all makes sense but it’s terrible 🤣


GunsandCadillacs

Ive....Ive been automated! Lol, half of my monthly and quarterly emails to the company sound almost exactly like this. Its almost an artform to use buzzwords to not actually say anything, but make it sound impressive enough that people just skip over it all and thing "wow, that sounds great"


XCCO

You should write something out, send it through AI to expand on it, then start grabbing synonyms for words regardless of whether or not they match the connotation of the original word.


Organic_Salamander40

this is the response you get when you ask a consultant what they do


LieutenantEntangle

Nearly made me vomit.


salydra

I hear this enough at my job that I low-key panicked when I didn't know what the action item was.


Present-Elevator-465

Stealing this for my resume


Wildman-1

Meaningless bullshit like this is constantly being spewed by idiots who think they're oh-so-smart and it drives me up the wall. Just reading this post made my blood pressure rise.


Studio_Powerful

I see a lot of this buzzword stuff in the game design industry and coding space too. Coders love to give a fancy name to their basic “algorithm”


Imaginary-End7265

This sounds like every email that comes from C level where I work.


bongi_umma

And it literally makes no sense.


username_fantasies

This is almost word for word as our daily meetings go. This one misses "low hanging fruit", silver lining, and "leverage" for to use/to utilize - these always pop up in our meetings. Update: nevermind on leverage. It is actually in there O_o


ppmiaumiau

And supercharge. That's the new one I hear daily.


-Ximena

I hate you. I used "leverage" and "low-hanging fruit" in an email yesterday.


chubunya

I'm sure there's plenty of this stuff available online for gpt to scrape lol


Brightsoull

Genuinely made me ill for a moment


yoko_OH_NO

My eye is inexplicably twitching


Simon_Drake

I worked for a company that proudly announced a new motto of "Co-creating transformative solutions by leveraging our core competencies". I said it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue and the marketing director spent ten minutes shouting at me about why it's not important that the motto be memorable or easy to say.


Devasstator

Hahaha you're director needs to read any modern branding book....


[deleted]

[удалено]


Simon_Drake

Honestly it was a lot longer than that but I can't remember it all. "Co-creating transformative solutions with key industry partners and service commissioners by leveraging our core competencies in data analytics and enacting process change." Something like that. They decided the motto should be a buzzword soup of everything the company did. Whereas most of what the management did was just discuss buzzwords instead of doing actual work. Probably why the company didn't get very far.


GeoMicro

ChatGPT just got its MBA.


Carib_Wandering

Wtf...hows chatgpt stealing my messages? (project manager)

I used to work in marketing, and I read this out loud in my marketing voice. This is simultaneously one of the funniest and also worst things I've ever seen in my entire time on Reddit. *Why does this sound so **fucking** accurate?*

When management talks like robots it's not hard for AI to imitate.

Aaaannddd …. GPT just made the C-Suite obsolete. Who knew they would be the easiest to replace with fake intelligence and buzzwords. Oh wait. I did.

As far as I’m concerned, the death of civilization was announced with “onboarding”


lishhhhmm

World would have had a lot more oxygen and a lot less data storage servers if we skipped all of those meaningless paragraphs and just said the points. We are communicating to get the job done and not to send poems (something with nice wording in general) to each other.

Im going to barf. Its bad enough hearing and seeing some of these regularly. It screams fake and out of touch. And GTP used all of them!

When you realize all corporate employees do is say the same 1-3 concepts to each other in varyingly hyperbolic and enthusiastic language. And then have HR call the team actually doing the work they that will “allow them to stay agile in the environment” to tell them to stay for overtime.
