Hilarious! I used to work for this lame ass company. Every week, we were supposed to meet with a "coach" for an hour, the "coach" was supposed to give you some "guidance" and feedback to help you "unleash your potential"
The woman was a total moron, every time we met, she would start our conversation with some BS line like "You know, I am concerned about you..." Haha, YEAH RIGHT!
Then, towards the end, she would always say some BS like ", You know, I want you to do your best because there is SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH opportunity with this company", everytime she said "SO MUCH", it sounded like she was gagging, corporate America is full of imbeciles
The internet is kind of like the office and filled with bs buzzwords, too. Has anyone ever heard the term "strawman" used in a face-to-face conversation?
We need a proactive plan for moving forward with this thread.
North Beach, can you look at the big picture and leverage the prior posts as to create a net net, win-win proposition? Can you touch base with me later today as to your game plan? If I'm unavailable, please reach out to another stakeholder. We gotta keep this thread on the fast track.
"At the end of the day, the bottom line is we don't have the bandwidth. So we'll have to take that offline and leverage our value-added resources to ping him to make sure we're all on the same page. Then we can all touch bases with the movers and shakers later to make sure the game plan is a strategic fit."
At every office job I've ever had, it seems most of the people are really fond of using this corporate jargon that really doesn't mean anything.
I Googled this and found corporate buzzwords. Apparently I'm not the only one who has experienced this.
Do people in your office talk like this, and what kind of stuff do they say?
Everyone in my office begins every sentence with "so" followed by a comma (pause) and then the rest of their sentence.
They also love to say "at the end of the day." Constantly.
And "bandwidth." No one knows what bandwidth actually means, but they say it all the time. Oh, and "ping" when they mean "email."
I heard "I'll give him a ping" the other day. What?! That doesn't even mean anything. It sounds dirty.
I don't think any of these are corporate buzzwords. I say so in my day to day life at the beginning of the sentence, I say ping me to colleagues and friends, bandwidth I say less of but I have said it at work to mean or refer to capacity, and at the end of the day is also not very corporate either. I have said that before in non-work situations as well as some of my family members who do not even work in offices (my teacher cousin, my machinist uncle).
