Of all the things that never happened, this one never happened the most.

Pretty sad though that this is the story she wants so much to tell.

    This has to be satire, it has to be.

    Even an alien trying to blend in with humans wouldn't write like this.

    Also, learn how to properly format quotation marks, you silly goose.

    Because here's the thing: it still reads like slop

    Honestly… we’re in the worst timeline, and it’s things like this that add up to it.

    What a total failure.

    I don’t see any reference to the kid’s performance in alignment with APGs. She makes multiple references to clear KPIs while acknowledging his underperformance. Any toddler can mimic their parental units, but without a clear data-driven performance plan, I don’t see a future for him in that family.

    There’s clear synergy between her and her spouse, but she admits to deficiencies in multiple KRAs. Delegation and outsourcing are powerful tools but must be specific, measurable, achievable, and relevant.

    With only a few tweaks to formatting, this could just as easily be a greentext.

    A) Cool story, bro. B) The fact that they think this lie reflects something significant about their business acumen tells you everything you need to know about corporate culture. Their only metric for competency is the amount meaningless jargon they're able to use throughout the day.

    Sounds exactly like the sort of thing a very neglectful parent would spout online to save face instead of spending time with their kid. I doubt that person even knows when their kids birthday is, let alone their name half the time.

    Though, that's just my take on all that.

    Said child when he's in his 20's:

    If the kid were being sarcastic and making fun of adults, this would be hilarious though.

    It's actually pretty funny how kids can pick up on stuff they hear adults say. I have a couple of my own thathappened moments that did actually happen, but they're usually one offs and can be put down to kids just imitating what they hear.
    This one though, this is made up.

    This kid sounds like dead weight, if you ask me. Lay him off.

    I can’t imagine the spousal relationship that would survive long on corpo speak.

  • source

    It entirely depends on the type of corpo speak. Some of it is a euphemism for things that humans want to avoid addressing, like firing people and potentially throwing their lives into chaos because it makes a business have a line that looks slightly better for a few months.

    Sometimes it's a polite thought terminating cliche the end a conversation or say "I hear what you're saying and we're doing it my way".

    Sometimes it's just a shorthand for some of the things that corporations have adopted that can coincidentally be helpful in relationships.
    Setting aside a few minutes to check-in and hear how everyone feels things have been going is a 'retro'.

    I can 100% assure you that there are positive relationship impacts to looking your partner in the eye and asking if they want to touch base. That you've got a high priority action item that you're looking to circle back on, and some clearly defined success metrics.
