Smary Scaramucci Already Making Stomachs Churn With His Euphemistic Biz-speak

[stopbush]

21. "Staff people don't work for me. They work with me."

Bleeeech!

Jesus fucking tap-dancing Christ! Can't The Mooch come up with something original?

Anyone who has worked in a largeish business hears that kind of crap all the time. Yeah, the boss worked "with us" on that non-successful thing over here. That successful thing over there? Yeah, that was HIS baby!

The evolution of corporate speak in a nutshell: they used to fire people. Then, they laid off people. Then, they needed to restructure things. Then - the ultimate stomach turner - they needed to "right size" things.

You weren't fired a month short of qualifying for your pension. We simply right sized the corporation. I guess that means your job was "wrong" for the company at some point...but if that's true, why did they replace you with a younger, inexperienced worker at a third of your salary to do the same job?

One thing you can be sure of: whether you were right sized out of a job or laid off or whatever. When the brass gets together for drinks and cigars after hours, they get a chuckle out of hearing how your boss "fired his (your) ass" earlier in the day.
