God, I hate 'em. I don't work for any type of corporation so I don't hear them too often. In fact I don't think I've ever heard the seemingly two biggest culprits here, "proactive" and "synergize." Still, lately I have seen the phrase "internal customers" in emails too many times here. Of course, they are just referring the the sales people up front. My CO-WORKERS.
They are not customers. If they were a customer, then I would have to fear losing their buisness. I will never have to fear that a sales rep would no longer ship through us because WE ARE THE SHIPPING DEPARTMENT.
We all work for the same company and we all have the same goal: sell this crap, and then get it out the door.
Sounds like CO-WORKERS to me.
