From the Huffington Post Why Workplace Jargon Is A Big Problem http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/04/25/work-words_n_5159868.html?utm_hp_ref=business&ir=Business When we replace a specific task with a vague expression, we grant the task more magnitude than it deserves. If we don't describe an activity plainly, it seems less like an easily achievable goal and more like a cloudy state of existence that fills unknowable amounts of time. A fog of fast and empty language has seeped into the workplace. I say it's time we air it out, making room for simple, concrete words, and, therefore, more deliberate actions.

I guess these people never heard about working on multiple projects at the same time.
The entire theme of bringing our cost down so we can get WFO ( work for others) is a joke. There is no cost savings simple because the price to do business is just that, a defined cost per employee, just as the cost for a home can go no lower than the cost of materials, land and labor. Oh and for those who are hoping to buy more of a home for less in the future. Think again. As the mortgage interest rates approaches the projected 11% level as planned, the less house you will be able to afford for the same money leaving you with a huge payment for a house half the size you thought you were going to get.
Nothing is for nothing.
