Doublespeak

[tracker7]

Today, we have learned, by way of a press release from Gubner Fletcher's office, that Gannett is going to consolidate its three dozen or so call centers into 3 or 4 big ones.  One of these is going to be located in Louisville.  What is Gannett calling these complaint hotline headquarters?  Centers of Excellence.

In addition to being a terribly stupid motivational-poster-worthy name for a facility, it's just flat surprising to hear the words "excellence" and "Gannett" in the same sentence.

On the up side, it's pretty easy to make fun of the new name. May I suggest "Centres of Excrement" :p
