I dunno, I'll get back with you", or "You can believe I'll find you later and answer, but I'll be gone for the day, sucker"

All right, Looks like we covered all the agenda items and we have a whole 1 minute left. I'll give everyone some time back for today. If anyone has questions on their action items for next week, just Slack me or check the SharePoint site.

The only thing I ever hear in meetings is "It is not in the budget at this time". Meanwhile the CEO takes home 20million a year. Oh and this is American healthcare, it's fine.

It's a fig leaf. Saying you are bad at something is bad for business. Instead, you're really good at a handful of things (your core competencies.) A reader versed in corporate subtextuality will see your list and immediately understand you're poo poo at everything not on it (and to not ask about those things.)

kalel posted:thanks folks, let's go to ground and schedule a follow-up KT* if needed for the rest of the stakeholders these type of acronyms piss me off so much. they're often acronyms because it's like a loving string off words that describe a simple concept that we already have a single word for. and guess what, when you use that word, nobody asks "what does that stand for? ah i see, and what does that mean? ah okay, like [simpler word]". overcomplication of language in pursuit of some faux intellectualism is a trigger for me, esp in a work environment. im an engineer so i have to push back against jargon constantly. if im with engineers, i use the jargon i need to because i know they know and the specificity of our language is important. when sales or manager guys are talking to the customer with this bullshit jargon and more bullshit they made up i roll my eyes so loving hard for some reason that type of poo poo is incredibly perverse in education right now too. i have a teacher friend who is always whipping out the latest acronym to describe some simple concept or a group of people and i have to ask every single time what this new alphabet soup term is

So if you could, um, just put these concerns, as, um, individual line items—[audio cuts out just long enough that everyone on the call thinks my internet died]—eadsheet, that would be really great. Thankssss

Yeah, bringing up "core competencies" is a nice-sounding way to say either "we're a videogame company, what are we opening up a loving restaurant for" or "I'm lazy and I don't really want to learn anything I'm not already good in."

Hey Folks, Well I know today was rough for us and our now former colleagues. Let's be respectful and give them some space, but also remember to keep confidentiality when discussing the company in friendly conversations. We'll be sending an invite for a mandatory All Hands starting at 8 a.m. Monday morning. In office attendance is mandatory for this meeting so talk to your manager about parking and shuttle arrangements. Anyone that had PTO booked for Monday will need to re-book this time with their manager or take an extra half lieu day. Your manager will be meeting with all their reports today to review departmental KPIs and discuss how we can use KCS methodology to increase ROI. Go Team!

I used to hear “mission critical” a lot but often in advertising speak. I do hear “generate content” frequently.

The customer facing isn't rendering our content properly and we outsourced all the people who built the database to Indonesia 4 years ago. Nobody knows how to fix it.
