In an odd twist, my work has started announcing updates using messages full of Zoomer slang.
The first message at least included a more straight-forward explanation below the original message, but the one we got this week had no such translation. I remember as a kid being weirded out when adults tried to talk “hip.” Now I’m older than their targeted demographic, so I not only get second-hand embarrassment at their attempt to talk “cool,” but I also have no clue what half the words mean. It’s the cringiest thing I’ve seen from them since the “AI Prompt-a-Thon” contest they threw earlier in the year.
You’re not looking for someone who has good communication skills?
If good communication skills means corpo speak then no.
