Attack of the Buzzwords

Something needs to be done in the business world and it needs to be done now. The business world has gone so crazy with the buzzwords that they have started to make things up that have no relation of any kind to business. I can thank my good friend Tim for pointing this out to me by providing me with one of the most ridiculous cases I have ever run across.

You know what I mean about "buzzwords." These are stupid words that really have no meaning and that managers at companies far and wide like to throw around to make themselves seem more important and more intelligent than they really are. It is my theory that they learn these words through special classes that they are force to take on the island that the managers are genetically engineered. I imagine they have classrooms as large as those hangars they use to store blimps if the sheer number and volume of middle-managers in this country is any indication. The childlike future managers sit there, heads planted firmly up their kiesters, and have headphones placed over their heads and are then forced to watch video screens where these words are flashed across the screens and pumped into their heads.

In the example given to me by my friend the subject of altitude was brought in for no conceivable reason other than the recruiter must have thought it sounded cool. In the end the examples and comparison makes absolutely no sense. I am thinking there must be a separate island where recruiters and salesmen are created. They have their own way of talking, baby, and it seldom makes sense to anyone with half of a working brain. Rain Man would look at a recruiter and ask what the hell he or she was talking about.
