When corporate speak is taken way too literally #corporatehumor #officelife
But he didn’t get his ducks in a row, or reach out, or Segway into anything
Absolute worst of all “reach out” only to be used by the four tops (google it if your too young) and not anywhere else
Learn to play bullshit bingo. On a piece of paper, write down as many corporate lingo terms as you can think of. During any meeting, cross them out as people say them, once all crossed out jump up and yell out "bullshit bingo".
Put your finger on it, got me 😂😂 Tell me the bar part ain't real though...
"As per the previous email" - WHY DIDN'T YOU READ ALL OF THIS INFO WHEN I ORIGINALLY SENT IT???
I liked him raising the bar, I've wanted to do that a few times, and you know which company you are, that phrase was abused beyond absurdity. Sigh, and that probably is what caused you lot to go under, or at least one problem you all had. It was quite a few years back now, but I'm still not naming names. Have fun out there, and remember if you trip over an outlet in the middle of a meeting, it's not your fault, blame the guy who went in the room before you did.
Someone give them a raise for their acting skills
In my opinion, using office jargon can be perceived as exclusionary language, especially if you have new hires for instance who are not familiar with such jargon.
