What do you mean by substance?

  Well, this is the opposite of "substance": > improving our margins by 12 percentage points in Q4 2015 (non-GAAP) i.e. not "Generally Accepted Accounting Practices," i.e. "we made up two numbers, and one of them was 12% larger than the other." The rest was pretty standard damage control lip-flapping. Here's another good bit: > When people were fired did you actually call it a graduation? Unfortunately, yes. In certain groups we used the term graduation to describe the event when someone was leaving the company, either because they resigned or we let them go. The curse upon the undead creature which wrote this would not let the words "Yes, we called firing someone 'graduation'" pass its fingers.

Because not everyone is fired from a company, sometimes they leave on their own accord?

      > Because not everyone is fired from a company, sometimes they leave on their own accord? Absolutely, but most humans recognize the difference. Maybe HubSpot could use "X has graduated" vs. "X has been graduated."
