Gah, why can't senior managers ever speak plain English?
I work for a large organisation, and apparently the latest policy is to stop hiring temporary contractors and start recruiting permanent staff again.
How was this policy change communicated to us in an email? With this:
A substantial review of our Talent Acquisition operating model, capacity and service levels over this last year has indicated that to truly elevate our recruitment and sourcing service to the level that this organisation needs, we must increase our internal resource proposition.
@bf3866a1 your company management is retarded. Honestly, this sort of corporate newspeak should be unacceptable. This person's entire job is creating unnecessary middle management bullshit. And their whole department should be fired.
@bf3866a1 While I was at a Very Large Corporation, which was mostly an engineering company, I responded to an email much like that one by asking the VP who had sent it, “Do you really mean to convince every engineer in this company that you are an idiot who is unable to speak coherent English?” I kept my job for most of a decade after that (before retiring), and the buzzwords from various VPs decreased for part of that time.
