Just tried to post a rant on LinkedIn about the utter crapness of #corporatejargon & the preceived need for NGOs to join in and adopt it, but got an automated messge saying "we're sorry, there is a problem with your post". I think this is the most perfect thing that's ever happened to me there... 🤣

Study Links Receptivity to Corporate Buzzwords with Poorer Decision-Making and Analytical Skills A recent study from Cornell University, led by cognitive psychologist Shane Littrell and published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences, explores how susceptibility to corporate bullshit—vague, impressive-sounding jargon like 'synergistic leadership' or 'growth-hacking paradigms'—affects workplace performance. Littrell developed the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale (CBSR) to measure this trait. Using a custom 'corporate bullshit generator' to create meaningless yet buzzword-heavy sentences, the researcher tested over 1,000 office workers by having them rate these statements' perceived 'business savvy' alongside genuine quotes from Fortune 500 executives. Findings revealed a clear pattern: employees more receptive to such corporate BS tended to view their supervisors as more charismatic and visionary. However, they scored lower on measures of analytic thinking, cognitive reflection, fluid intelligence, and effective workplace decision-making. Paradoxically, these same individuals reported higher job satisfaction and greater inspiration from company mission statements. They were also more prone to spreading corporate jargon themselves. The study highlights a potential downside in corporate culture where vague rhetoric may impress but ultimately hinders practical judgment and performance. While some employees find motivation in this language, those most drawn to it appear less equipped for sound, evidence-based decisions, suggesting companies could benefit from promoting clearer communication and critical thinking to improve outcomes.

Whenever you start a new job and listen to the corporate jargon, you find yourself on the spectrum of either believing you are unqualified to be there because you can’t keep up or that the company is full of BS. Where do you stand?

Ever worked in a corporate, academic, scientific, or government setting and ran into something like this? Corporate-speak so dense it bends reality? I thought I'd share something light given our current chaos. Please share your examples! 💼 🗣️ #CorporateJargon #WorkplaceHumor #BuzzwordBingo 🧪🔬🧬

“Let’s take this offline” is the corporate equivalent of “fight me in the parking lot after school”

Corporate speak or #corporatejargon, call it what you will. I endure this whenever I open LinkedIn. This is an old cartoon by legendary South African cartoonist @ricoschacherl.bsky.social of @madamevecartoon.bsky.social fame.
