Hey I've been paying special attention at work today (err, well, special attention to words, not to work per se ). I've noticed there's a hell of a lot of euphemisms here:
Job title: Relationship Capture (translation: sales)
Re-deployment (translation: move an unwanted person to another department rather than have to go through the process of three-warnings-sacking)
Any other business ones? (I know there's lots...)
Hev
