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. By striking the following 26 words from your speech, I think you'll find that you're not quite as overwhelmed as you thought you were.

In 2009, a NIF employee was placed into EBA status then dies by an onsite government vehicle that he had been operating. The DOE/NNSA Accident Report fails to mention this employees new EBA status or the plausible relevance of the EBA status and the subsequent death of this NIF employee. Instead, the report calls it a "routine transfer to another position". The report also states, "This report neither determines nor implies liability". In 2012, a NIF employee commits suicide after being informed he was in the process of being fired. In 2013, a former NIF employee placed into EBA status wanted to report to a non-NIF manager, but that request was denied by his assigned NIF manager who went on to say, "I'm going to be your manager until the end." NIF doesn't appear to have been a compassionate or caring place for employees to work these many years ago. Has NIF management and NIF employee interactions improved in 2022, or do they have the same shameful employee treatment issues to this day?
