Spinning Top Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 From a WebEx session at work today, referring to the ongoing 'integration' (aka takeover..): 'We are operating in a harmonised state, working to define an optimised state'............ And there was me thinking we were in a helluva state Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 It's like if they dress it up differently everyone will think everything is wonderful! An expression I loathe is " Let's talk offline" What, you mean...have an actual conversation?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yvonne Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Try playing "buzz word bingo" - it makes meetings go by with a smile on your face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Top Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Thanks Yvonne, somebody PM'd a link to that so I'm going to give it a go. At least no-one 'reached out' to me today.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chortle Chook Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I also just loath that 'reaching out' business How can these corportate geeks take themselves seriously? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinning Top Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 Unfortunately I've got to present to them on Monday. I'm planning on using words with no more than 2 syllables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatieB Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Going to have to show my DH this, he works in this world and we take the mic that he regularly has to interface with his customers and has to show blue sky thinking! To name a few Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadietoo Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 I work in a professional office. We always like to look at the job adverts at the back of our professional magazine and try to guess what the job is that is being advertised...we also like to think we could apply for said job (we have no idea what the advert means) and do it for a year before anyone realised we didn't know what we were talking about .

To name a few Tee hee. Those doing 'blue sky thinking' must be above those on the 'level playing field' who in turn must be above those doing a 'deep dive' Oh and how about those 'touching base' They really are at the bottom of things But all will be 'ironed out' at 'close of play' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
