how to corporate
- put the bad news on blue slides, because blue = calming
- roll out the female executives, because female voice reminds them of mom and mom would never hurt them
- buzzword, buzzword, buzzword! they can’t complain about what they don’t understand
- use the passive voice: “if you should find yourself in the position of being part of a restructuring”
- make clever jokes amongst ourselves because, ha-ha, we’re safe!
- oops, apologize for the jokes, but then make another one, it’s just so funny!
- euphemize, euphemize, euphemize: “positional change”, “rotate in a different direction”, “re-evaluate your future”
- one more joke for good measure
- end on a high note and tell them you look forward to seeing them again at the next all-hands, except for the ones who get cut before then, ha-ha!
