Suit Speak
words used by corporate heavies or upper management “suits” to confuse, convince, intimidate, or otherwise baffle an office drone or “-ssociate” into compliance. sentences are riddled with buzzwords. suit speak is a kind of capitalist/office version of orwellian “double speak”. words are made overtly complicated and then sanitized so that unpleasant matters can be discussed and disguised in a “politically correct” falsely optimistic way.
-ssociate a: “man, there was a lot of suit speak at that meeting. you think anyone knows we’re all going to fired in a week or so?”
-ssociate b: “what do you mean? i thought we were all being paid to engage in aggressive retraining opportunities so the company can refocus on cost effective outsourcing? i want to be a value oriented thought leader so i can embrace the new partner championed fiscal re-evaluation. that’s good, right?”
-ssociate a: “dude! use your head… get your resume ready.”
