Hi all,
My day job is in corpo-tech. It's the fourth corporate gig I work in my life over the last 20 years. In this gig, I feel like the corporate-speak thing is so aggressive I feel like I'm surrounded by 2,000 iterations of the same person. Every sentence begins with “so,” has “right?” in the middle, and ends with either “does that make sense?” or something about leverage. Tribalist language is of course not a new thing but it's like… it's extra now. I thought it'd be a regional thing, and it isn't (I'm in the US). Where does this come from?
