Corporate speak for "Fuck you".
In the working world, it is now impossible to speak your mind, so a form of Orwellian word play takes place, where seemingly innocent and bland phrases now have a secret, darker, meaning. Guy1: "You will have to take a pay cut and work longer hours, as the company is facing hard times."
Guy2: "Oh yeah, understood." Woman1: "We need you to leverage your resources to perform at a higher level." Woman2: "Understood." |
