Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

MODERATORS
do people actually fall for this stuff? it seems like so many business management types are working overtime to make sure they're always up to date with the latest in corporate jargon. why? do people actually think these people are saying anything?
I dunno, I think business jargon exists for the same reason it exists in any other field. When you spend a lot of time focused on a niche topic you come up with really specialized vocabulary to describe it. Plus it probably qualifies as a form of code switching.
Apparently most of my chain of command at work falls for it.
Yes. Most people use just a bit of business jargon nonsense. Not enough to really sound like they're talking completely from the wrong end, but just a nonsense word here and there. Usually they use them wrong, but because it's so prevalent it starts to fade into the background.
When people use almost nothing but buzzwords it's pretty transparent though, and almost always falls apart on questioning.
