  Whoever it was at Microsoft circa 1994 who came up with the My ______ naming scheme for Windows 95.

  30 years later every large organization has someone who thinks naming the new employee portal, pension hub, internal message board, etc, My Portal, My Hub, My Messages, is hot shit. And somehow they get it approved before anyone with any sense has a chance to interject.
