Especially when it comes to business. I just got off of a meeting with a company that focuses on “monetizing the user experience journey” and the amount of jargon that was used just left me yearning to go tend a field instead.

    I’m not a corporate penguin, but I’m in a position where I often find myself in meetings with them. While there’s a lot of corporate jargon, such as “Let’s circle back on that”, and other common phrases, I am so happy that my industry doesn’t have a “user experience” to “monetize”.

    We are the survey equivalent of hotdog vendors: you pay us, we do geophysical surveys for you. Sure, there’s an armada of geophysicists that work oit the specifications regarding the type of condiments and hotdog buns, and the hotdog is produced on a ship, but at the end of the day, I like how little fluff there is.
