Well, this isn't exactly about language and work -- but does tie in with some of the idiocracy we often experience at work.
In our company environment, Marketing department controls most web-based company/customer interactions (intranet, internet web pages, social media outreaches, press releases, etc. etc.) Our marketing department can be... difficult.. to work with.
One of my closest friends at work, works in the Internet Development department - trying to make Marketing's wishes come true from a web developer standpoint.
So this was part of the exchange of emails between them all earlier this week. (I should explain that our company "brand" is that the company name, anywhere it appears, is all in caps -- i.e. XXXXXXX Bank, N.A.) Has been that way ever since they changed to this name from the old "First National" name.
******************
Web Developer: "Facebook has advised us that we can't have our page named XXXXXX Bank, because there are too many caps. They no longer allow entire word capitalization for business pages"
Marketing -- "This is a problem -- we used to have it that way for [XXXXX Other Page]!"
Web Developer: "Yes, I know. We were grandfathered in for that one. This is a new Facebook rule."
Marketing: -- 'Well, this is just not going to work!!! It is very important that our brand is consistent among new and existing pages. Talk to Facebook about it and asked them to override or drop that restriction!!!!"
Web Developer: *face-palm*

I teased him "So.. you just gonna call up ole Mark Zuckerberg and ask him to make an exception for you, are ya?" ROFL
