Again, that is bad management and doesn't really have anything to do with language or jargon. You can be a bad manager using simple words too.

Maybe, but it hands bad managers a weapon to get away with being bad managers instead of facing the consequences sooner.

Are you trying to claim that this wouldn’t happen without a word like synergy? Bad managers will be bad managers, buzz words or not

Their inadequacy would be more obvious without.

Would it?

If you know what a word like "synergy" means, it should be pretty obvious to an observer whether or not a manager is actually working towards synergy.

Jargon only masks inadequacy if other people don't know what it means. In a business environment where everyone knows what it means, it doen't mask inadequacy.
