Latest overused buzzword: silos. Things, or people, are in silos or feel as though they were. (see: compartmentalize, vertical market, isolation, etc.)

This is the first time I've heard that term, but I'm not part of the conventional working world any more. What I thought of was deadly information missiles lurking in the underground darkness, waiting to be launched onto unsuspecting innocents...
Other things I love (not) in that article: "frontoffice" as one word (hyphenation would have been sufficient), "value-added" (had an assful of that one when I worked for the feds), and "back-end operations specialists" (does that mean people who sit on their butts all day and do nothing?) And that's just one paragraph; there are OMG four pages of this.
