Corporate Gobbledygook

Corporate jargon is neither pretty-sounding nor is it making things efficient in an organization.  Apart from sounding knowledgeable or causing deliberate confusion, managers also use jargon to establish credentials. By speaking the ‘manager code’ they establish their superiority and justify their salary. The newly hired junior staff does not question this nonlanguage of middle and senior management, as they fear losing their jobs or not getting promoted on time.
