Ask management if it’s worth a few hundred thousand dollars in lost staff time to put made-up terms in the intranet menus. Usually it isn’t, particularly because you’ll likely be asked to remove the fancy terminology next year — probably just after people have finally gotten used to it. Stick to long-term terminology for navigation labels. These labels are the most costly words in the company in terms of the number of hours employees will spend pondering their meaning.
