Thanks. First I've heard that one.

I just have a hard time with this term. It feels.. disconnected... I don't know.

It reminds me of George Carlin's bit on "Shell Shock"/"Post Traumatic Stress Disorder".

You're not wrong. I admit, it's a term from the euphemistic cogs-in-the-machine language of management. But I've found no way to entirely avoid adapting to "their" culture.
