I can’t help but feel like the new, trendy “corporate speak” is just there to subtly dehumanize us.

Before, we used to “meet”. That's what humans do. Now we “connect”. That's what you do with your bluetooth devices. Or “sync”, that's what you do with watches. Before we used to “employ”, now we “leverage”. There's a million other examples. Maybe I'm just too sensitive, but I can't help but feel like all of this is there to subtly take our humanity away and make us all subconsciously think of ourselves as machines. Machines that aren't supposed to get tired, burn out, never make mistakes, and will be replaced if they ever do.
