> leaders

Don’t play their game and call them leaders. They are management, bosses, executives.

> They are making decisions about things that they just don't understand. And are completely unworried about it.

Clowns, even.

> Just blindly following whatever the news cycle is about AI.

But followers might be most apt.

This is such a huge pet peeve of mine. Describing management goofs using their language that makes them sound all-so-brilliant. We constantly watch these people do the dumbest shit and then they go around describing themselves as “thought leaders” and “servant leaders”. When, really, most are just clowns with fragile egos.

And, while I’m rambling, they’ve tried to take away the fact we are workers by calling us individual contributors. Using language to attempt and hide the hierarchy and power dynamic at play. It just…bothers me so much.
