lingoism

The Corporaty

The continued corporatization of communication is the continued degradation of language. Corporate lingoism is a lie that as corporations become more formidable, becomes more accepted and normalized.

“Sharing” is distributing memos. And people that we work with are not necessarily “family”. Simply because something is “above [your] pay grade” does not mean that it is not your responsibility. We make goals, not “action items”. 

And we do not work in terms of “bandwidth”. We are too busy or not interested. We do not have “brain dumps” but we can be creative. The only silos that need “breaking down” are agricultural, not corporate. People cannot be guaged based on “core competencies”. Consequences, outcomes, quality of work are matter and are usually a product of an individual or group of individuals that have worked together.

Corporate language turns to corporate communities of lingoism and lies. Corporations are organizations created to make money, and nothing else. Most of the time they do so by breaking or bending rules. To allow the corparaty to reign is to lose the ability to communicate in any real manner.
