Corporate wankage and buzzwords.I'm sure that this week will see loads of replies about bosses using buzzwords. One of my favorites was "robust".
"Well, the system that we have in place is robust so we can be sure that the data is correct."
"We need to institute a robust manufacturing system for this product."
"This is a robust equation that can be applied to many processes."
During meetings one of my favorite pastimes was to keep a running tally of how many times the word "robust" was uttered. I think my record was 14 in one hour.
