Ever sat through a meeting and wondered what everyone was actually talking about?Welcome to the wonderful world of corporate nonsense.Somewhere between “let's circle back,” “let's leverage our bandwidth,” “take this offline,” and “let's boil the ocean,” ordinary workplace communication became an elaborate performance in which everyone nods confidently while quietly wondering what any of it means.Corporate Nonsense is a hilarious field guide to the strange language, rituals, and unwritten rules of modern office life.Inside, Roy Moses takes a sharp and affectionate look at:The corporate buzzwords that sound important but mean almost nothingMeetings that could have been emails—and meetings about meetingsCorporate emails and their hidden translations“Quick syncs” that somehow last an hourPerformance reviews, org charts, and workplace ritualsJob postings featuring “rockstars,” “ninjas,” and “fast-paced environments”Acronym soup: OKRs, KPIs, EOD, FYI, and everything in betweenTeam-building exercises that somehow make everyone less enthusiastic about teamworkRemote-work rituals, Slack etiquette, networking, PowerPoint, and office politicsThe subtle art of sounding productive while absolutely nothing gets decidedAnd because surviving the office requires fluency, the book concludes with a complete corporate jargon dictionary, translating phrases like “alignment,” “bandwidth,” “deep dive,” “empower,” “circle back,” and “best-in-class” into what they actually mean.This isn't a management textbook.It won't teach you how to become a better executive, build a high-performing team, or maximize shareholder value.It will, however, help you recognize the moment someone says “let's take a step back and look at the bigger picture” and realize that nobody is actually taking a step anywhere.©2026 Roy Moses (P)2026 Roy Moses Leadership Management Management & Leadership Personal Development Personal Success
