I like how the verb in the headline evolves every time I see this story. First he was surprised. Then he was shocked. Now he's alarmed. Maybe I'll check back tomorrow and learn he's horrified!
slammed
This just means "to insult". Not exactly interchangeable with "overcome with a negative emotion".
But yes, I fucking hate this kind of hyperbole in news headlines. The other one I see is blasts like somebody legit fired a Kamehameha wave at somebody else.
CEO slammed with negative emotions after realizing layoffs have consequences
This is one of the most absurd examples I’ve ever seen. This shit drives me crazy.
They knew what they were doing... They had to. Lol
Flabbergasted!
Flummoxed!
Gobsmacked!
Bewildered, even!
Gutted
Especially when these whole articles revolve around couple sentences in an earnings call which were basically "it had a bigger effect than we expected, but we're doing okay now." I'm sure as an excuse for lower than expected profits in that period.
This guy needs to slam somebody.
Fuck I hate that word now
It's just another example of news orgs running interference for a twenty-something dbag "entrepreneur"who has no idea how his business works.
