We have far too many managers here and more than our fair share of supposed MBAs so it comes as no surprise that we get the odd eMail or two with some genuine useless management speak twaddle. Today's example: "Cool...shall we have a follow-up meeting and kick off some lower hanging fruits" I would like to kick off his lower hanging fruits :angry
LMAO.......actually spat brew on desk..lol the new one here is its not a "Brain Storming" exercise now as that might offend people. Its now a "Thought Shower",... a "thought shower".. words fail me.
Sorry I really dont get how 'brain storming' can be offensive? Can anyone shed any light? Infact I'm going to check it out now.
apparantly its offensive to anyone that might have health issues with the brain. So you cany use any word that people might have health issues with. Apparantly brothels can no longer use the phrase 'hand job' ? As its offensive to the unemployed as well.
my personal bugbear 'cascade' as in 'cascading information to your team' - can't I talk to them instead?
We have so much jargon. The brain storming quote drives me mad. I work with epileptics. They are having a seizure or fit. I've never once heard anyone say "they are having a Bain storm" If they did we'd think they were thinking up new ideas. What gets me at the moment is "young people" they are kids, teenagers etc. I've never heard of someone having a young personhood or how were your young person years?
I love it when you call up someone and told they can't come to the phone right now because they're tied up with their secretary. Well, bloody hell - go and untie them.
Apparently we don't have enough bandwidth to accommodate all our projects and as such will be down sizing our pipeline?
