Terms actually overheard at an actual meeting about actual new HR/management practices of some sort:
creative correction — a whole new way of saying, “You’re fired.”
converge with rigor — I thought that sort of thing was usually frowned upon in the office
breakthrough to excellence — if it’s all the same, could I just knock on the door of mediocrity?
people behaviors — can anything other than a person actually “behave?”
mobilize energies — I usually do that shortly after lunch; right now, in fact
drones for development — that’s all we are here, after all… well, without the “development” part

Where do you work? I want to be sure never, ever, ever to apply there. Bet those fuckers have beef wet stains on their ties.

“Breakthrough to excellence” — I somehow envision Kool-Aid Man involved. Oh Yeh!

Ohhhh, yeah! Don’t ever apply here. Just don’t. In fact, go the contract route. Leave yourself an out. Once you’re in, they’ve got you by the short hairs.
