SteveCattle gates! A fact of life in the remote cattle grazing areas in the West of the US. Sometimes they are like intelligence tests. Sometimes they require feats of Herculean strength. Sometimes there are extra bits and pieces that you *know* would help to close them, if only you could figure out how. And sometimes they seem designed to cut you up, with their barbed wire (the hoops always seem to use barbed wire, though not in this case). Anyone else always find themselves at the back of the pack closing these marvels of modern engineering? #CattleGate #IntelligenceTest #HerculeanStrength #EngineeringMarvel
WenResearchers from Cornell University have developed what they call "the Corporate Bullshit Receptivity Scale," a tool designed to measure how impressed people are by business school-style jargon that sounds strategic but says very little.
The findings, described in a recent study, suggest that employees who rate this sort of language as insightful are more likely to struggle with analytical thinking and workplace decision-making.
