  1. Clearly manipulated the serving size to get the “10 calories” number. First, how do you measure 3/4 of a teaspoon? Second, who only puts that amount of fake creamer in their coffee? #coffee #corporateBullshit

  2. WTF is this new trend of hotels that are already charging a lot wanting you to "check in online"??

    I choose hotels in order not to stoke the Air BnB pressure on local housing. Part of running a hotel is having check-in staff!

    Where the fuck do you get off charging 100 or 200 (or even more) euros a night and then expecting the guest to also become your unpaid employee and check themselves in online, giving their data to YET ANOTHER corporation?? #Travel #CorporateBullshit

  3. Dear My Employer's Personnel Department,

    You profess to be concerned about high stress amongst the employees within your demesne. If you are going to book meetings about "Stress Management" one idea to not compound the problem you purport to desire to mitigate is to not book meetings into the calendars of personnel which conflict with already-booked meetings.

    XOXO,
    Me

  4. Olen viime aikoina joutunut lukemaan useita tekstejä, yt-tiedotteista strategiapapereihin, joita voisi luonnehtia sanoilla "kuollut sisältä". Tämä hevonp*****-vastaanottavaisuuden tutkimus tuntuu siksi piristävältä, ja varoittavalta...
    "Results show that corporate bullshit receptivity is distinct from a general affinity for corporate speech, negatively associated with measures of analytic thinking, and positively related with other bullshit-related constructs in theoretically-consistent ways. Importantly, corporate bullshit receptivity is positively associated with several workplace perception variables and is a robust negative predictor of work-related decision-making."

  5. I'm sure most people in corporate culture are familiar with the phrase "Eating our own dog food." With the increasing use of AI, I'd like to propose a change to reflect the effect of the new tools. From now on we should be using "Eating our own dog shit."

    It's a minor change, but an excellent distinction.

    "Avec plus de 1 milliard de membres dans le monde et 33 millions en France, soit 90 % de la population active, le réseau social professionnel a transformé nos vies en entretien d'embauche permanent."

    Bien vu 🙄

  7. O #auchan diz-se "militante do bom, são e local". Belas palavras.

  8. Corporate instruction videos be like "person does this extremely bad and illegal thing, was it okay?"

  9. @nixCraft

    As an #ActuallyAutistic, this boggles the mind. Why ask an open-ended question and then get annoyed when people give you an honest answer? It's like asking what 2+2 is and expecting someone to answer "five", not "four".

    Yet another thing to go in the #CorporateBullshit folder, I guess

  10. Just maybe New York isn’t really ’shopping local’. #corporatebullshit

  11. “a very enthusiastic lack of interest” wasn't on my corporate jargon bingo card.

  12. "Leadership in these places isn’t about leading. It’s about avoiding responsibility while collecting credit. Work gets delegated to contractors. The people at the top put their name on the results. It’s not leadership. It’s theater. Also, it’s a caste system. If you’re in the right circle, you move up. I watched a coworker completely screw up communications with our community multiple times. Then they got promoted and got a raise. Got a senior title."

  13. I used to work for a company that bought into the positivity cult in a big way. I was almost fired because I wasn't "positive enough" and didn't enjoy the rah rah cult stuff. During one of the rallies, where they had "The Positive Energy Guy" (a real consultant, look him up if you dare.), I was directed to have a private meeting with him.

    After his big show and speech about how we have to give our all and be fully energized all of the time and how that will provide us with more energy to reinvest, he stepped off the stage to talk to me. He took a deep breath, smiled, and said "That takes a lot out of you." I looked him in the eye and said "That's not what you just finished pitching to the rest of the company. I appreciate you being honest with me."

    It was a very short meeting.

    I left the company as soon as I had the opportunity.

  14. @festal @tante I agree but I also the some change/progress starting.

    People are increasingly fed up with #corporateBullshit and capitalist #enshitification.

    We had walkouts in silicon valley and I see an increasing number of people starting coops willing to cater to the commons. It's a difficult path, but worth exploring.

  15. @Mozilla Vous avez publié le 22 janvier 2025 les résultats du sondage « De quoi rêvez-vous pour Mozilla » :

    Tell them the impacts on you today!

    How would you ideally use ebay? What are they stopping you from doing?
    Can you include a monetary impact?
    Can you tabulate your time spent finding and using alternatives?

    How easy was it to find these addresses?
    Do you even have a printer, or did you have to use someone else’s?

    How rude were their Customer Service staff to you?
    How long were you on the phone before they started talking over you, ignoring your words, and hanging up on you as if you’d been half as insulting as they were?

    Were they defamatory or discriminatory? Has this royally fucked up your day for no discernible reason?

    Call them now! On… Nevermind! They don’t post their phone number…!

    Write them a letter the old-fashioned but legally regulated way: by snail mail!
    Include all relevant details, and be as accurate, precise, and non-insulting as possible.

    Don’t forget: when you’re done, save the file or take a photo of the paper.
    Make sure to remind them every month or year, per your anger levels!

    Collectivise your rage! Agitate for justice today!
    (Please do not make up shit tho. Legit just include your relevant details, peas and fangs.)

    Not had a response or resolution yet? Send them a monthly reminder! It’s much harder to ignore physical mail.
    Remind them you’re a human being who exists in their shared environment. Fart in their general direction. (But keep the letter placidly inoffensive for best results!)

  18. I think it is faster to sketch diagrams by hand, massage the ideas a bit and then only invest time in generating svg, Visio, whatever for documentation.
    I refuse to waste time in making pointless (see what I did there?) ppt files with nice diagrams for kick off meetings 😂

    #CorporateBullshit.

    "While we deeply regret any concern this incident may have caused, we want to reassure our valued customers and partners that we are taking all necessary steps to safeguard their information"

    Exactly what steps are they taking to safeguard data that's already been stolen?

    If you call them about it, I expect they'll tell you your call is important to them.

    I might even believe them this once, if they are experiencing greater than normal call volumes.
