Wow that is awesome
I'm a civil servant and even I've not come across anything that bad! Anyone who uses the word "synergy" surely deserves a good kicking.
You seem to have just justified the existence of management consultants. It takes longer to write in this style, therefore more management consultants are needed. QED.
edit: "Headcount restructuring" reminds me of when Lisa Simpson became president and introduced a refund adjustment, not a massive tax hike.

I'm fed up
I hate my colleagues. Actually you're a computery type, you might be able to help me, I'm applying for a new job and it involves using Morello, have you heard of it? I think it might be a DTP thing?

I have heard of it
but don't know much about it at all. I think its to do with web content but I could well be wrong with that. Not my area I'm afraid :(
I have discovered some fantastic news though

Of course! I forgot about your affinity with MDF.
Yes that looks like the right thing, but I can't view it at work. I'll have a look tonight.
I'm having a nice cup of tea and two Jaffa Cake bars

I've only had someone try to sell it to me, but...
it's a Web CMS (Content Management System). It shouldn't matter much if you've never used it because no two installations are alike as it tends to get customized for the task at hand. If you can say you've had experience with other CMSes or show familiarity with web publishing then you shouldn't have a problem.

"...they expected the merger to result in a headcount adjustment in the range of 10-15 percent of the global workforce"
...just means sacking a whole load of people doesn't it?
I don't get why business use these stupid euphemisms - it just makes them look like mealy-mouthed cowards.
