Olen viime aikoina joutunut lukemaan useita tekstejä, yt-tiedotteista strategiapapereihin, joita voisi luonnehtia sanoilla "kuollut sisältä". Tämä hevonp*****-vastaanottavaisuuden tutkimus tuntuu siksi piristävältä, ja varoittavalta...
"Results show that corporate bullshit receptivity is distinct from a general affinity for corporate speech, negatively associated with measures of analytic thinking, and positively related with other bullshit-related constructs in theoretically-consistent ways. Importantly, corporate bullshit receptivity is positively associated with several workplace perception variables and is a robust negative predictor of work-related decision-making."

Workers who fall for ‘corporate bullshit’ may be worse at their jobs, study finds

New study finds that employees impressed by corporate speak may be least equipped to make effective decisions

The Guardian

Researching the corporate bullshit generator (it’s a thing).

Findings? People who fall for the corporate bullshit consistently make worse decisions.

Who is surprised? Not me.

For folks who can parse language & think clearly, failure to challenge incoherent pap indicates obedience & a tacit agreement to keep critical & ethical analysis out of the workplace.

For those who don’t see through it (or who doubt their own assessments), compliance gives the comfortable feeling of ‘the smart people know what they’re talking about, if I stay with them I’ll be ok’.

In many workplaces this is a necessary condition for career advancement.

To often it is the case in academia also.

Who benefits perpetuating this crap? Those who wish to manipulate populations via bullshit.

We see you.

Nikki Glaser takes swings at CBS and Leo, goes gentle on Julia in Golden Globes monologue

Nikki Glaser opened Sunday's Golden Globes with a sharp monologue. She joked about stars possibly being in the Epstein Files and took a jab at CBS for editing a critical “60 Minutes” story. Glaser avoided topics like Venezuela, which she considered already too dated. She told the Associated Press she was struggling to find a joke about Julia Roberts but succeeded with a clever line. Glaser, hosting for the second time, balanced kindness with biting humor. She poked fun at Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating habits, then apologized for making such an obvious joke, saying she had no choice because “we don't know anything about you!”
