This is what Franz Kafka means in some of his stories. The tyranny of bureaucracy. A structure and organisation so complex, it’s oppressing the individual, both physically and mentally.

I forgot what the term is, but there is the idea that using jargon heavily is a way to exclude the masses from discussions and information.

But yeah, this elitism, even in the business world, is a flex saying “I know better and I am better than you. Therefore, I am superior. I can control you.” I would say that my industry is not nearly as abused with jargons, as in not mincing words to say nothing of value, but my current company and work is definitely Kafkaesque.

the amount of jargon that was used just left me yearning to go tend a field instead.

Haha then you should watch Office Space! Personally, I know of someone who is in IT and a son of a farmer. He said that he’d rather be a farmer like his dad, in his home country of India, if money is not an issue. Me, I’d rather be a polymath if money is not an issue.
