And what am I reprieving myself from? Well, I'm glad you asked. Here are he words and phrases I'm exciting to ban from my vocabulary and why I hate them.
- Branding Opportunity: It means (and I quote) to, "put our company shit on shit" and it's pointless.
- ROI (Return on Investment): This is how we tell if what we're doing is making money. Which we can't do because we don't track anything. Which doesn't matter because we're not making money. SUCCESS!
- Company Culture: FUCK the words "company culture." If you ever apply to a place that brags about its "company culture" be prepared to be faced with a lot of miserable employees that have been beaten to death with buzzwords.
- "Marketing Should Drive the Ship": Okay, but how do we-
- "Marketing Should Be Sales Support": But I thought you just said-
- "Marketing Should Take Control": We're trying, but you keep-
- "Why Isn't Marketing Getting Anything Done?": BECAUSE OF BULLSHIT LIKE THIS!!!
- "Why is Grace daydreaming about tearing down all the posters and running through the halls screaming Alan Ginsberg's 'Howl'?": Just kidding, they don't say this . . . but they should . . . and they will . . .
In other news, work has actually been okay recently. Things are calming down. I just thought it would be funny to write this post. And it is! At least, I think it is. And that's what really matters.
Love you and miss you all. <3
