Cheap Philosophy

[digitaldiscipline]

I think my biggest problem with a lot of corporate crap is the terminology.

"Stakeholders" correctly refers to a mob of vampire hunters. Bring a wooden mallet to meetings and snicker if need be.

Should I bring a serrated knife to a "Steakholders" meeting then?

And a baked potato.

Or perhaps a raw potato. You can always roast it over the bonfire the stakeholders will inevitably build.

I think that's how the corporate dodo heads came up with the name. To translate the double speak:

Stakeholders: entities who will band together, pick up pitchforks/torches/implements of destruction and chase our asses all over hell (ahem, court) and back (ahem, media) if we don't placate them with steaks and an important-sounding name. Of course--if you really want to know--we couldn't give less of a shit what they care about. I mean, it's not like they own us or anything.
