People (even some marketing people) seem to often think that advertising and marketing are the same thing. They are not. Agreed. This one seems to br trapped in a wet dream about Madmen. All sharp suits and cleverdickishness (without the clever bit). |

Of course. They're not mutually indispensible.

True enough, time we consigned racism to the past, sadly too many racists cling on, so I expect it's use will continue sadly.

I expect its use will continue, too frequently and inappropriately, by fraudsters, pious poseurs and people whose only self validation comes from a sort of bullying megalomania.
Meanwhile, we grown-ups will just carry on treating people with decency.

True. It barely exists in Britain except from the left but the word is bandied around more than ever. |

They've got nothing else. Just farming victimhood.

Disruptor/distrupting. Makes me want to kick walls. Our new-ish marketing woman suggested we use those words in our profiles. I made a mental note to get rid of her, right there. She's f**k**g rubbish and we all know it. The COO has twice ripped into her in meetings (not good, not nice, nor necessary and not the way to do things) but he has a point. I was doing my best to support her up until then, but not now. She gone. Now I wish I'd put a tenner on it on Friday. |

Are you allowed to put bets on your own colleagues getting the boot, or is that prohibited on the basis of insider knowledge? Does William Hill even run a book?

Oh yeah, it's definitely that. There are still a couple of utter dickheads in the C-suite (eeeurgh!) who were close to the recently departed CEO.

C-suite. If I have achieved nothing else, I have a least made this into a common term of gentle irreverence in the business, rather than something you might advertise.

I don't know how anyone with a measure of perception and streetwisedom could work in conditions where it's plain that those around you are talentless hypocritical shysters.
