I work in academia and I can confirm the jargon and acronyms is insane! I also code switch constantly depending on my email audience - faculty, bosses, other staff, or students
This was such a thought-provoking read! I work in publishing, which is super jargon-y, and I hadn’t even really thought about how much of my everyday communication is now infused with US corporate speak.
I have no problem asking for and giving definitions - though I realize that I'd probably last 10 seconds in a corporate environment, assuming I could even get hired. My husband and I run a business out of our house - it won't make us rich, but it pays the bills.
