Corporate Jargon Update

June 25, 2007

Here is an update to my hated corporate jargon list…

On my way to work this morning while listening to NPR, I heard an interview between the DJ and someone from Eckerds. I am not sure who it was…maybe the CEO or something. I believe they were talking about Eckerds buying out CVS or something.

Well, as it so happens, the woman they were interviewing said some rather entertaining corporate jargon phrases that I have never heard before. I course, upon hearing them, I was forced into an uncontrollable eye roll, but I was still able to drive. Here they are, but they are not the exact sentences…

– Our employees are really the touchpoint to our customers…

– It was really frustrating, because we didn’t want to upset the apple cart…

Seriously, can someone please find out who this person was and call her? Please tell her that these types of statements are incredibly idiotic and to stop saying them. They are making the rest of us dumber just by listening to them.

    Mr. CVS CEO: what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
