There's a silver-lining to falling for corporate bullshit. You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed or any good at your job, but at least you'll worship your boss and enjoy your work.

"Workers who were more susceptible to corporate BS rated their supervisors as more charismatic and “visionary,” but also displayed lower scores on a portion of the study that tested analytic thinking, cognitive reflection and fluid intelligence. Those more receptive to corporate BS also scored significantly worse on a test of effective workplace decision-making. The study found that being more receptive to corporate bullshit was also positively linked to job satisfaction and feeling inspired by company mission statements. Moreover, those who were more likely to fall for corporate BS were also more likely to spread it."

In a company wide project kick off meeting and the term “AI integration” keeps sneaking in as a bullet point. Looks like business daddy has succumbed to the corporate marketing BS. #ai #yawn #CorporateBS

I did not know that Genesis owned Ecotricity. Adding 'brought to you by retailers of LPG, owners and operators of Huntly gas & Coal powerstation..' somewhat damages Ecotricity's '100% renewable, climate positive' slogan.

However it doesn't matter as Genesis is killing Ecotricity, along with Frank. (Sorry Frank but I don't know or care about you.)

Major corporations, including Mastercard, Meta, and Coca-Cola, are quietly sponsoring a Canadian conference headlined by Christopher Rufo, a far-right activist and crusader against diversity initiatives. Many of these same companies, however, champion diversity in their public communications.

''one... reason they would keep such job listings open indefinitely ... “The company was always open to new people.” ... A tie, at 43%, went to the next most-common responses, “To give the impression that the company is growing” and “To keep current employees motivated.” ...the most infuriating replies came in at 39% and 33%, respectively: “The job was filled” (but the post was left online anyway to keep gathering résumés), and “No reason in particular.”

I am getting dizzy... all the buzzwords... had three bingos in a row now... I have to learn this stuff as apparently BMW and MAN use that in their project management and it is possible that my current employer assigns us to one of those projects #SAFe #agile #corporateBS

@stefan I'll keep this as a perfect example of #lawyer bullshit. These regulations have no effect whatsoever. Most probably it's against their owners interest and they'd be deeply surprised if they ever read their own terms & conditions but yeah, nobody ever does that. All these regulations were only written to produce a bunch of text to justify a lawyer's invoice. 🤮

(I do think lawyers have competence and relevance and can help society but this doesn't help anyone.)

Insurance renewal leads to corporate BS safety valve damage 🤔
How is 'copay' not the same as 'excess'?

100% of Scheme, 200% of Scheme... but they can never tell you what that covers. Its like me saying I sold 75% of my stock. I only sold 3 of 4 items. But it could also be 750 of 1000 items. It means nothing till you give me a solid value to work from.

Maybe one of the reasons #vinyl sales are climbing is that #music fans know streaming fees are not getting to musicians...

Now the USA's Federal Trade Commission is being urged to *follow the money*.
