Nine "N"gines Notching.....

I was joking with my coworkers the other day about how one of them actually said "synergy" to their family and lived to tell the tale.

They were lucky to survive!

You are drinking the corporate Cool-Aid man!
But you're still not using enough buzzwords like "synergy", "leverage", "collaborate", "facilitate", and so on. 

Who can forget the 90's classic of "paradigm shift"? A more contemporary version of this appears to be "pivot". It gets used to a level of ridiculousness in commercials having to do with running a business, but not to the same level as "reimagine". Seriously, start counting how many commercials say "it's such and such....reimagined" (or, "reinvented"). It can make you go crazy!

Yes, remember "Who moved my cheese?". That I seem to recall was all about "out of the box" thinking and "paradigm shift".  Hey, those managers and motivational speakers have to prove somehow that they are worth earning their salaries.
