    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 swear all my previous managers took the same manager class.

    When they treated me like shit, every one of them tried to make a personal connection with me by asking about something I was wearing.

    “Oh you like x band? I see youre wearing a shirt”

    “Hey what does your bracelet represent”

    “Sweet hat, I like fried chicken to.”

    Like the first thing they saw they said something about it. Oh you’re trying to get to know me now after you’ve fucked me and I’m leaving?

      Sweet hat, I like fried chicken to.

      Without any additional context, this is the greatest sentence I’ve ever read.

    You can always tell when middle management has recently attended a seminar or bought a new “How To Be Successful” book because they start talking like this.
