The following are some jokes, but I can't seem to understand it.
Employer Speak: what they say and what they mean by it
Joke 1
Nationally recognized leader: Inc. Magazine wrote us up a few years ago, but we haven't done anything innovative since.
Why hadn't they done anything innovative?
Joke 2
Competitive environment: We have a lot of turnover.
Turnover? Shut down several times?
Joke 3
No phone calls please: We've filled the job; our call for resumes is just a legal formality.
What does 'fill the job' mean here?
Employer Speak: what they say and what they mean by it
