and guess what it works…
A US colleague, highly articulate in all aspects of office jargon has been bumped up 2 layers to Vice President. Not overly talentled, not fond of the hard slog… but impecable timing when it comes to saying the right thing at the right time in front if the right people.
He also has an elevated sense of his own self worth. A wonderful trait…
Just got an e-mail from a Client Services Manager, cc’ing the world and asking for the ‘wash up’ from the last review. I replied including everyone asking what ‘wash up’ meant.
“The results please”
These cunts take it to the next level. We had a client in last Friday that they described was at C suite level (another ridiculous office jargon speak) so suits would be required when meeting him on Friday (which is normally casual). I arrived in to meet the chap who straight away asks do we not go casual on Friday and the Client Service Manager is sat there with a gormless look on her puss. Spineless cunt too afraid to even ask the client if he’d like to wear casual clobber.

When widespread cc’ing starts I immediately think ‘cunt’.
The moron who always puts the entire contents of her email in the subject line, she nows sends internal emails using the secure encryption
I assume she adds the acronym EOM after her message in subject title
:mad:
I had no where else to put this.
“Guys, this is City of London standard”
Fuck off.

whoever said it is a spoofer as “of London” is superfluous in that context
in those circles there is only one City and it ain’t Manchester

not so superfluous if we are working from Dublin sport.
But he is a spoofer of the highest order.

Can you give us the context? Was he praising some work that was done and telling the Paddies that for just one moment of just one day they had achieved a standard equivalent to the Gods in the City?
One of the partners (was a partner in City of London firm so obviously everything is better in the UK)
" Count I see you have completed such and such"
“Yes John* i have completed same and sent the documentation to the appropriate agent”
“Beautiful, that was City of London standard work”
I am unsure if he is referring to the complexities of the issue or to the high calibre of my work.

I’ve awarded an ‘Agree’ rating for this post but I just want to point something out in relation to the above post for the less well traveled amongst us.
Whilst in the business world there is certainly only one ‘City’ and that is indeed London and more specifically the area known as The City of London, in a social context the City means Manhattan and more specifically the area south of 96th Street excluding the Financial District (FiDi). People living south of 14th Street, north of Houston and West of Broadway (the areas known as Greenwich Village and the West Village) may consider the City those areas to be the City but that’s not a widely held view.
Settling into a nice drum beat…
Wha? ?
Meeting today - Issues around suitability of a product.
Colleague: ‘mmmmhmmm, yeah, uh huh I’ll socialise that around the business’
Internal meeting yesterday. Bit of tension between two separate teams targeting the same area for potential new business.
Someone piped up with: “We simply can’t have a scenario where we’re all eating each other’s lunches.”
now is also silly season for hateful out of office messages listing several contact points to get them when theyre out of the office or offering ludicrous scenarios for the minions to contact if theyre not in.
also, there’s been an increase here of no marks sending emails to all in the building informing people that they wont be here for the afternoon. issue 1. we have a fucking shared diary, just fucking use it. issue 2. nobody gives a fucking shit you self important waste of space :mad:

I’m aghast, what has the World come to, that wankers think they can put them words in a sentence together and presume to get away with it.
That cunt should have been donkey punched immediately
