(Business people) speaking a language familiar and dear to them. Its portentous nouns and verbs invest ordinary events with high adventure; executives walk among toner cartridges, caparisoned like knights. We should tolerate them - every person of spirit wants to ride a white horse. -William Strunk Jr. (The Elements of Style)

    Yeah and I fucking hate it because I don’t just assume everyone is lying so I never apply to those places.

    I don’t think these idiots realize how hard they’re shooting themselves in the foot with these kinds of ridiculous descriptions…

    Also the “college degree required, starting salary: 2 peanuts and a dead cat, bimonthly pay periods.”

    Absolute insanity.
