+------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | | | Dhananjaya D R @/Blog @/Software @/Resume @/Contact | | | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Annoying corporate jargon ________________________________________________________________________________ (It amazes me how people can spew so much horseshit and not even say a damn thing. They ramble on and on for minutes to answer a simple yes or no question and still have no idea what answer they’re trying to give.) [1] "Low hanging fruit" (I just think testicles every time I hear it.) [2] "Circle back" (and pivot) (Ah! Pivaaaaht!) Hand in hand with "piggyback," "bottom line," and "touch base." (Sword fight! It's imperative that you do not touch "base" in any way, shape, or form!) [3] “Let’s take this offline." (No, dude, let’s finish this now and stop ignoring the problem(s).) [4] “Wanna hop on a quick call?” or a “quick huddle.” Followed by "Can I share my screen?" or even worse... "Share your screen." (Nope. Never fucking ever do I want that.) (“Can anyone see my screen?” “No, bruh. I can’t see it.” (It’s because my eyes are closed.)) [5] "Let's put a pin in it." Only if it's my eye. And it gets me out of this meeting. [6] "Good morning!" (This is how I greet anyone the first time I message them for the day. But damn, I don't know why this pisses me off so bad, but it's started making me really irritated lately. Maybe I'm rude, IDK. Come at me with a good conversation, and I'll talk all day.) [7] "Young, dynamic, and fast growing team." ("We're a startup with no idea what we're doing, so we hired these fresh out of uni kids who don't know what they're doing, and this whole operation will go belly up in a few years when the investor money runs out.") [8] When someone pings just to say “hi” and waits for my response. FUCKING GET ON WITH IT. [9] "Team", "ping", "We noticed you didn’t take the anonymous survey." "take a more holistic approach," and many more... [10] Last but not least "We're family." (No, you fucking aren’t.) ________________________________________________________________________________
