Am I the only one that understood MPowering was poking fun at the string of threads here lately?

Anyway, I have a pretty high tolerance for corporate BS. But I cannot STAND:
- Keep my finger on the pulse.
- Keep my ear to the ground.
- That will get hairy.

Disgusting visuals from disgusting coworkers.

Yellowbelle, you were the only one who read my post.

Actually I received several reps / comments about it, so you weren't the only one who got it.

The biggest one last year that made me scratch my head was "athlete". Used to describe high potential employees that were gifted in ? Endurance? Baseball? Never got that one.

Fill the hopper
Bring it to the pipeline
Teamwork
My favorite "honest error" and "honest oversight" every time corporate f****s something up, or does not want to listen to those who actually DOES the job itself, or even ask them for opinion.

But this is all futile posting.

All you all ever need to do is to watch Office Space. Done and over with corporate America.


Office Space - Movie Trailer - YouTube
