The Actualization of Potentialities Manifests Itself in Imperative Fashion 0

In my local rag, Bernadette Kinlaw takes on corporate doublespeak. A snippet:

CNN provided us with a wonderful yet horrifying example of gobbledygook.

Management had plans “to leverage internal efficiencies by enlisting external resources, thus driving a reduction in operating costs, thereby enhancing shareholder value.”

How would you interpret that?

We’re laying off people to save money and please our stockholders.

I worked in corporate America for a long time and I learned that long words and convoluted language meant one or both of two things: emptiness and treachery.

Do read the rest.

Afterthought:

You can rephrase the title of this post loosely as “git ‘r done.”
