I had a manager who at the end of every meeting (and I mean EVERY meeting) said "go team!" It was especially annoying since he wasn't actually present in 99.9% of those meetings.

I used to say Go Bills at the end of every meeting to my mostly local Western New York co-workers.

Think out of the box

“Learnings”

Yes its an old word and was repopularized by Borat of all things.

Ugh. Just say lessons or something. Leanings just sounds … wrong.

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

"Lean and nimble"

"Moving with a sense of purpose"

"We're like a family"

"Synergy"

“High energy multitasker”

“Detail oriented”

“Fast paced environment”

Translates to: “You will be simultaneously micromanaged and expected to know everything with no prior documentation, and you will be underpaid for your efforts. We also have no organization whatsoever :)))”

I don't mind lunch and learns. I get overtime for that, AND they buy me lunch. I'm either stuck near the office for an unproductive hour I don't get paid for, or at my desk working on the same shit I was earlier for an extra hour.

But all the bullshit buzzwords attempting to paint employees standing up for themselves as bad things are obnoxious as hell: quiet quitting and the like

  1. Ideate
  2. Ask (noun)
  3. Table (verb)

Does “tabling” mean putting a subject on the table or taking it off?

“That’s a big ask” drives me crazy. I’ve been hearing it everywhere lately. When did ‘ask’ become a noun?

[–] bravesirrbn@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The earliest known use of the noun ask is in the Old English period (pre-1150).

Depends on if you follow the British meaning or the US American one.

The Q3 numbers have a life of their own. Growing, shrinking, zig zagging all over the place. Pushing needles, pulling levers. And fyi, the roi is tbd. high five synergy!
