The Dictionary of Corporate Bullshit defines PR people as the people responsible for everything seen in magazines, on TV, or in the newspaper. They are often very well put-together people who excel at talking to basically anyone at any time and are very good at lying. Due to frequent work with talent, they have a high tolerance for egomaniacs, prima donnas, and other assorted temperamental folk.
The Lunch Hour by Jennifer Eremeeva
The three martini lunch is sadly a thing of the past, and business negotiations in these troubled times are more likely to be held over a dodgy SKYPE line rather than the traditional 16 oz porterhouse steak, but the business lunch appears to be alive and well. There is something inherently relaxing in combining the discussion of a new marketing strategy, share float, debt restructuring or compensation package, with the consumption of food. Sharing a bottle of Puligny Monrachet, a sensitively grilled sea bass, and undeniably the garlic soup at Remy’s, has the potential to smooth even the roughest paths to mutual cooperation and agreement.
The Dictionary of Corporate Bullshit defines ‘Panic Button’ as a location on a website that contains a link to another, less controversial site, or a fake screen showing an Excel sheet; used as an escape hatch by those who surf NSFW websites (ones that contain nudity) or look for jobs on company time.
The Dictionary of Corporate Bullshit (DCB), which I like to read every day as it gets me laughing, defines ‘Executive Head Shot’ as a photo of a senior exec that looks nothing like him or her because it’s several years old, has been airbrushed considerably, and features him or her smiling and/or looking like a nice and approachable person.
