The one that makes the decision sees all workers as replaceable cogs and the managers that know which people are the good ones are not consulted. We call that the "foie gras" style of management.
We have curse stacking so it forms one big word. Godverdommemiljaardenondju. It's an ugly mix of dialect, French and Dutch, meaning something like "curse you a billion times in the name of God". And if it's only a mild inconvenience we only use a small part, like "dju" or "miljaar."
TruthX. It brings it more in line with SpaceX and model X, and also tells what it's turning into.
Propaganda. In this case it's designed to make people angry about an issue and in angry people critical thinking shuts down and falls back on group opinions. Any rational argument from outside that group then becomes an attack on the commonly held beliefs.

Boss: You can't do that! Now I'm in trouble!
Disruptions are in the near future. Energy systems are changing, climate change is going to wreck things, wannabe dictators starting wars and others. Usually one of those isn't a problem but a lot of those at the same time wrecked past civilizations. But you can't predict how it'll all turn out.
If history is anything to go by, the English speaking world runs into some trouble. Nothing much new comes out in English while somebody else becomes dominant in research and publishes in their language. That's getting picked up in academia and politics and if anyone wants to be up to date, they learn that language. The other language now starts to distribute their movies exposing more people who pick up that language and spreading from there.
Sure, that can take a few generations. It's not like everybody just decided to switch right now
And then everybody slaps a "Only for 18+, fill in your birth day" on their site and nobody can legally claim it's harming children.
