How does speaking like a braindead MBA make you look better?

    Everyone likes to shit on MBA language, but it's simply the language of a subculture.

    I know exactly what freeing up bandwidth to work on a higher priority project means. It's not nonsense. Sure, they could say they "sent useless work to the intern so they could do something more important". But that's not the language the culture uses.

    What's next, are we going to shit on ebonics too? How about shitting on tech speak? It's not any less incomprehensible to those outside the bubble.

    Anyway, that's not to you specifically, just this whole thread reeks of a superiority complex.

    You’re comparing:

    • A group of English dialects spoken by an ethnic group
    • A field that has technical terms with precise meaning
    • A manufactured group of buzzwords largely appropriated from real technical terms meant to obscure meaning to outsiders and sometimes even hide criminal activity

    These are not the same. And none of those are a subculture.
