HR Words Are Dirty, But Baby, Talk Is Cheap

HR Doesn't Like You

Ah, the lexicon of HR, where words don't just describe, they dance around the office like mischievous sprites, leaving a trail of corporate jargon in their wake...

"Future of Work" whispered with a knowing smirk, as if the future were a clandestine rendezvous instead of another meeting about meetings.

"Top Talent" the crown jewel of HR vocabulary, where everyone's a gem until the quarterly cull.

"High Performer" the golden child of performance reviews, until the metrics change like the weather.

"Engagement" the elusive elixir that HR seeks to distill from the waters of team-building exercises and trust falls.

And oh yes, the pièce de résistance, the "Rockstar" that mythical creature supposedly lurking in cubicles, ready to dazzle with their code or conquer with their spreadsheets.

And when HR escapes to the copy room for dirty talk, these are the words they murmur, alongside the secret handshake of workplace absurdity.
