I think the unit is the manager, for measuring the use of managementspeak, but it's a curvilinear scale starting with foreman who tends to call a spade a f****ing shovel, the middle manager who will call it a detritus removal instrument, the "human resources" manager who will call it a space reframing opportunity or enabler, and upper management who will call it a manual tool if they know what it is.

Then you have the micromanager, and most of us have suffered from those.
