Jokes aside, some of this is just normal communication used in business and that's not a bad thing. The consistency is actually useful when communicating between businesses. Makes it easier to integrate and speak the same language so everyone stays on the same page.
- superconformist 8y agoYes, I can tell you and I have synergy. B2B consistency is not just useful, it is impactful. Despite the win-win dialog we're having, maybe we should take it offline.
- hbarka 8y agoThat was funny. I get your /s
- gerbilly 8y agoExcept that many of these terms exist not to make communication clearer, but to obfuscate, to hedge. It's a type of obscurantism. It also sounds like a bunch of shibboleths, secret handshakes of the C level people. Why do we accept terms like re-structuring, downsizing etc? Can't we just call it what it is: "Firing people?"
- warent 8y agoBecause there's more information being communicated in "downsizing" or "re-restructuring." All downsizing involves firing people, but not all "firing people" involves downsizing. True, people can abuse those terms for a doublespeak effect, but they have legitimate uses.
- gerbilly 8y ago> True, people can abuse those terms for a doublespeak effect, but they have legitimate uses. Yeah, and opium sometimes has legitimate uses in pain management.
