"We're in it to win it."
"Knock it out of the park."
"Game changer."
"Homerun hire."
"What's your take?"
"Diversity, equity, and inclusion."

Bandwidth (used in a non IT data way).

“I’m not sure if we have the bandwidth to take on these three projects at once. Let’s do a deeper dive on project #1 and drill down the details. We can reconvene next week and circle back to projects #2 and #3.”

Forecast

It’s not a bad word, I just hate doing them, especially as we don’t use them to make decisions but we do have to justify why we are off, despite not having control or the data to accurately forecast

Great, another business jargon thread. Exciting. I’m sure this will be a game changer with a high ROI that we can all get invested in. A paradigm shift, if you will, that will raise the bar and set the standard for a new era in this home away from home family centered environment. Lots to unpack here so why don’t you ping me later so we can touch bases on this and really hit the ground running. Right?

That's not our core competency (we have no clue as to how to expand in that direction)

Who's going to step up to the plate (and take the blame)

We need more due diligence (let the lawyers frick this one up)

All of those translations are correct.

If you’re ever interviewing and the interviewer says, “we like to work hard and play hard.” Turn around and run.

Stop it. It's meaningless. It's just trendy.

Self-empowerment ... by definition, if you have the power to grant yourself power, then didn't you have the power to begin with? Stupid feel good speak.

Price point should just be price.

Sooner rather than later is not an actual deadline.

ASAP may mean something different to me than it does to you.
