Elon Plays Business Buzzword Scrabble on Ketamine

Stonekettle explains, with an example.

The biggest con job is all of these billionaires who have convinced wage-earners that the billionaires really have the workers' best interests at heart.

Its along the same stupid path of the 80s... during the "paradigm shift"
era where I was told problems are "opportunities" and I should loose
the word "problem". Back then the response when I heard that was
"I'm an engineer, my bread and butter are problems I must understand
and solve. Its a problem, I fix them."

Word salad was my favorite term for all that. most of those are
meaningless and message free.

I've been through so many buzzword explosions in my 30 some years in engineering that I can't even remember half of them. TQM, quality circus, we don't fix blame, we fix problems... One of my favorite was telling us they wanted us to feel we were involved in the company's decisions. Best way to do that would have been to let us be involved in the company's decisions. But no, they figured if they repeated it enough times we'd get the feels and leave them alone to decide for themselves.
