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!

This sounds like an Eric Andre sketch
"Lean and nimble"
"Moving with a sense of purpose"
"We're like a family"
"Synergy"
We’re like family is a HUGE red flag for me. I had a boss use that as a selling feature to get me to work there. I had come from a place that really was like a family, a nice one, where we all really cared about each other. Turns out she meant it in the unpaid slave labour way. You can’t make a group of people a “family”, it has to grow that way Crystal. And not through pain and suffering!
“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
Yeah.... bring your own sack lunch and it's "voluntary", so no OT. That the lunch and learn I'm familiar with anyway.

- Ideate
- Ask (noun)
- 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?

Flywheel. Stop.
Just the recent used-car lot trash
- the ask
- the spend
- action this
- effort the task
... fighting for hate space with the recent shit jargon
- literally
- cap
- based
... and people who can't write English
- the above list
- the below list
- setup vs set up
- shutdown vs shut down
- start up vs startup
- pluralizing support, e-mail, deer, effort, and other 'non-countable' style nouns with an S. I was raised rural and I still know the error there.
.. and a special fuck you to people who join words together where normally they need a space
- opensource
- incase
- aswell
.. because that last part is just cheap indolence.

The term "let's slow time this" was used for a while. I can only assume that was some corporate phrase.
This isn't strictly corpo-speak, but upper mgmt type people do this a lot:
Misuse of the word "myself." Like, "if you have any questions, talk to Joe or myself."
Nice one dumb-ass--you tried to sound smarter by adding syllables but it didn't work, did it!

"Good catch!"
Usually said when you bring up something that needs fixing, and said as a way to puff you up and not actually follow up on the problem.
“Good catch!”
We 'nice catch' each other all day. We celebrate when people find dumb shit, especially when it's our dumb shit. We positively reinforce that natural code review and checking one another in the name of safety.
But I work with a bunch of pros on some private-possum shit, and that's culture they've preserved from before the 2005 dark ages began. If you don't know what positive reinforcement sounds like, I get it. Learning's fun.
If you don’t know what positive reinforcement sounds like, I get it.
No, no. It's words that sound like positive reenforcement be repurposed by people who don't want to deal with an issue.
