That's a cracker! Can we quote you?

If your complaint was concerning some of the banal expressions such as “let’s run it up the flagpole” then in that case I would totally agree, but where the use of “human resources” or “customer facing” and the like are involved I would not.
Human resources sounds like a great name for the lampshade factory at Auschwitz. Normal people used to refer to 'personnel department'.

What is it about the job of a manager that you find so unsettling?
Nothing, because I've been a manager in my time and I didn't need a Mickey Mouse certificate to prove it.

I have a genuine professional diploma, and that - plus experience - qualified me to manage others in the same line - sans bullsh*t.

Maybe if you did you would find career opportunities opening up for you that are presently not only closed to you, but more than likely unknown by you at this time to even exist.
As I have a well-paid semi full-time job doing what I'm trained to do, plus three small businesses of my own, no thanks.
