No Learnings

This can speak for itself:

The word is lessons

Here’s the scoop

Using separate language allows for separate behavior.

When a person speaks a corporate language instead of regular-person language, they behave in corporate ways instead of regular-person ways.

Which means they’d do things and accept things as a corporate person that regular-person they would not accept.

Here’s the request

Stop contributing to this system! Use the word lessons instead of learnings.

P.S.

Learnings makes you sound like a damn clown. Even if everybody says it — they all sound like clowns.

No Learnings

I don’t know how many times I’ve advocated for people to finally drop the “learnings” crap. I’ve hated it since day one, but have had to listen to it for years. I just wish I had had the idea to create a website like this. Someone else did it, though, and that makes me happy.
