“I cleared bandwidth to lead a higher impact project”
No, don’t say that! Say “I hurkledurked the dooper bobble.” It means exactly the same thing (nothing,) but using the business jargon of the 2030s so you stay ahead of the trend.
Everyone likes to shit on MBA language, but it’s simply the language of a subculture.
I know exactly what freeing up bandwidth to work on a higher priority project means. It’s not nonsense. Sure, they could say they “sent useless work to the intern so they could do something more important”. But that’s not the language the culture uses.
What’s next, are we going to shit on ebonics too? How about shitting on tech speak? It’s not any less incomprehensible to those outside the bubble.
Anyway, that’s not to you specifically, just this whole thread reeks of a superiority complex.
A group of English dialects spoken by an ethnic group
A field that has technical terms with precise meaning
A manufactured group of buzzwords largely appropriated from real technical terms meant to obscure meaning to outsiders and sometimes even hide criminal activity
These are not the same. And none of those are a subculture.
Because generally you’re justifying your promotion to an MBA anymore. The days of being promoted purely on merit because your boss understands the work you do are LONG gone.
It doesn’t make you look better if you’re shirking your own work to work on stuff other people want you to do. “Clearing bandwidth for the important task” is a fancy way of saying you’re making someone else do your work so you can work on something that someone else considers a higher priority.
It kind of sounds like they’re advising you to ditch responsibilities that you don’t think matter in favor of more important-seeming ones, which is the kind of fucked up ladder climbing and damn the consequences that puts sociopaths in most of the positions of power in the world.

They have a point though. They are telling you to phrase things in a way that makes you look better.
How does speaking like a braindead MBA make you look better?

You’re comparing:

Because that’s the target audience of the speech.
Stooping to new lows do be the 2026 mantra
How else are you going to become an executive and have all the
slavesemployees do whatever you want?Because generally you’re justifying your promotion to an MBA anymore. The days of being promoted purely on merit because your boss understands the work you do are LONG gone.
A lot of these examples also seem to require you to function differently, or to lie about what you’ve been doing.
Like how during the war on terror, we didn’t torture people, we interrogated them using enhanced methods.

Seen that bite helpers in the ass more than once.
