stop work that is no longer critical to our future success
"stop work that is no longer critical to our future success"
I often wonder exactly what these people mean with phrases like that. Is the person who cleans the bog "critical" to the future of the company? What if you get rid of that person? Do people then want to work in a shit-hole (because few people will clean up the mess themselves after shitting in the bog). If you remove anyone and anything not "critical to our future success", then what might be left? There's much work that is useful to "future success" but not actually "critical". I think it's just management-speak to make them sound tough and in control because clearly "critical" doesn't often mean what the speaker thinks it means.
