> Shifting financial realities meant we had to pivot our product deep into the deployment process.
Fwiw, I hate working with people who talk like this, and would much prefer:
"We ended up changing the product at the last minute because we needed the money".
Seriously why the silly insuffer theater, demonstrating willingness to perform ritualistic sodomy of your ego?
Why is this the language they're familiar with? Serial dishonesty?
You’re saying the same thing that the GP is recommending, just phrasing it differently.
The GP is suggesting to talk about the problem, rather than “the owner blew all the cash on blackjack and hookers, screwing the rest of us in the process.”
The recommendation isn’t corporate speak, the recommendation is to focus on talking about the problem, not the people responsible for the problem.
You've gotta know your audience. Fellow IC techs? Your version. Managers? Demonstrate your ability and willingness to use their jargon.
One isn't better than the other. They're just used by different groups.
