"Gamechanger" is the new "rockstar"


Mazda revealed the new 3 as a #GAMECHANGER [sic]. Now that I have one, does that mean my car is a better prospective employee than me, since I'm merely a programmer/coder/developer/engineer?


The recruiting email I got noted that from my resume, she could tell I was clearly a gamechanger, but challenged me to question whether I was surrounded by other gamechangers. Because, you know, it's lonely being the only gamechanger at a company replete with non-gamechangers.


"Gamechanger"=same shit, new wrapping

"rockstar" or "ninja"=naive or gullible

"hybrid"=1 to do work of previous >1

These are the people I would not work for even if they paid me <i>enough</i>; considering they're using silly buzzwords to attract warm bodies(not = talent) assures me their "competitive wage" puts the starting salary right on par with 'fry cook'.
