Hey guys, I know I am seeing a lot of back-and-forth on this topic, but I really need to push back and raise some red flags here. Some of these phrases are foundational to our ability to drive efficiencies in a corporate landscape. Sure, some are just boilerplate solutions, leveraged to the hilt and really only keeping us at a 30,000-foot-view of things. Others, however, really allow us to get better granularity, find better directional-indicators, or loop back and dive deep into some critical issues on a go-forward basis.
I think if you all start using more of these phrases, you'll find yourself trending toward the positive, but you'll have to keep an eye on the puck. Gut through it, reduce thrash, and let's stay in lock-step on this. Yes, we will synergize!
What's the root cause of the hatred of Corporate speak? I'll put my layman's hat on and guess that it comes from movies such as Office Space and Dilbert cartoons. But we all know that these phrases allow us to touch base in a much more efficient manner.
I have to time-box this comment, as I have a hard-stop in a moment when I will have to jump onto a call. So, just one more point that I want to cover-off on: let's socialize the idea of speaking with more corporate-speak and loop back to see whether we're being more impactful. From a management standpoint, I think that we can get the traction to do it.
So, net/net, ignore the naysayers, sidebar the folks that are stuck in the weeds, and don't waste cycles or bandwidth on folks that don't align strongly with this mission. Try it out, and we'll have another touch point in a little while to see if we've moved the needle.
If you need me, I will be online again in a bit.
I had a digital marketer living with me and the zoom calls were the definition of "full of shit"...
>no “circle back”
Disappointment
It's amazing how we, as a species, have mastered the art of saying a whole lot without saying fucking anything.
Hey there, I appreciate your enthusiasm for corporate speak and how it can potentially improve communication in the workplace. It's true that some of these phrases can help people efficiently express complex ideas or keep everyone on the same page. However, it's important to be mindful of the potential downsides to using too much corporate jargon.
One reason some people might not enjoy corporate speak is that it can sometimes create a barrier to communication, particularly for those who are new to the corporate world or who come from different cultural or linguistic backgrounds. In these cases, using plain language can be more inclusive and foster better understanding among team members.
Another possible reason for the aversion to corporate speak is that it can sometimes feel disingenuous, as if the speaker is trying to obfuscate the truth or make things sound more important than they are. In some cases, this might lead to a lack of trust or a sense that the speaker is not being transparent.
Finally, it's worth noting that excessive use of corporate speak can contribute to a sense of conformity and discourage creative or critical thinking. Encouraging a more open and diverse range of communication styles might promote innovation and enable team members to express their unique perspectives more effectively.
something along the lines of
"after, later"
or
"later, later"
Alright *ignores him the rest of my life*
I swore to myself I would never touch it again after my last bender.
I do not consent to my base being touched
Are all industries full of made up bullshit like this? I remember in college immediately recognizing that even in a field not tech related so much of the jargon was made up and not necessary. One of my earliest times I can remember questioning everything.
yes its how these parasites that offer nothing obtain work
Most people have no real discernment. They go through life seeing only with their eyes and not with their brain. Once you see how shallow people really are and that they dont have a thought toward what life is really worth, you are excluded from the majority. You can never forget the truth.
I'd rather touch tips
i have to leave early. family emergency.
"Sure I'll send you an update enxt week"
Literally that easy you lot are unemployable.
'fuck off nagger' because I'm ESL and don't get it
I usually just say "Sure thing!!" then go back to sleep. Come back 15 minutes after the established time and say "hey I had to take care of a production issue, are you still there? If possible can we touch base tomorrow?" then go back to sleep again
I touch base at night
"sneed"
touch grass now
No response, leave it on unread.
Let's have an afterparty instead
>sniff sniff
huh?
Instead of jargon that means nothing, is there an offensive spin on this for professional sounding jargon which is rude, passive aggressive, or condescending? I only find it humorous because so much about professional culture is open to interpretation and completely made up.
Touchy touchy third base UwU
ok
