Annoying Office Jargon - Part III

Ah tis the lingo that bothers me

Got this from an overseas colleague who has really embraced western jargon.

“Noted. Team will be shared to you weekly by Monday FM status and avoid confusion going forward.”

I’m still shaking my head. The confusion bit hasn’t started well for him.

uberization, this was thrown at a meeting today. Still trying to work out what it means?

Sexual harassment I think

Business model in which services are offered on demand through direct contact between a customer and a supplier, usually via mobile technology.

There ya go and no sexually harassed. :slight_smile:

Kinda like Tinder so?

I know it’s an old classic of the genre, “reaching out” drives me mad.
I can feel the blood pressure rising just typing it.

Client delight is so 2010.

Going forward gets on my goat, despise that phrase.

The quest for client delight is never ending pal.

A belter on the Tonight show just there.

Matt Cooper was making some idiotic, meandering point on the national childrens hospital overspend when some old codger economist on the panel told him “You’re not even hitting the corner flag with that effort Matt”

Every Tom, Dick & Harry Recruiter seems to be a “Talent Acquisition Specialist” these days.

Tbf, it seems to be working. They’ve even hoodwinked @anon61878697 into coming in for an interview.

Heard a classic yesterday: “We “2Xed” our revenue year on year.”

“I think we’re saying the same thing here.”

I’ve begun to use this a fair bit when someone has a completely different opinion to mine.

There’s a chap here using “moving feast” all the time in the wrong context.

I’ve heard it used in the past so I’m pretty sure it’s a staple work jargon term.

I always took it to mean that a definitive position had yet to be reached, things are changing, more information is coming to hand etc etc. Is this even right?

He’ll say things like…”The meeting has been put back from 10am to 11am so it’s a bit of a moving feast.”

Story telling is the latest corporate buzz, I am reliably informed.

Story telling of a moving feast?
