Your sales manager, if he does that, sounds awful.

assess the target value design items that have been accepted and now represent our new construction target cost. We will need to understand the progression of the CDs with a focus upon the larger credit line items such as foundation, mechanical and HVAC. Please let me know when you might be able to provide that schedule.

Received this friday... then they called to discuss. All that to say, "send us updated plans ASAP"

You forgot “agile” and “stack hands”. Agile has become the buzzword of the year where I work. I’ve been here 5 years and never heard it prior to this year when a few execs started throwing it around. Now it’s all over, emails, corporate communications, quotes from employees. Drives me nuts.

What is the ask? We don't do well in that space but maybe if we vertically integrate, manage the pipeline by funneling all opportunities into SFDC and effectively navigate the headwinds while leveraging all of the tailwinds, our EBITDA will be best in class.

Your company is likely a failing entity because not once did you mention the word "robust".

You left out "optics." And "The ask."

As in:

The ask is that you put the word optics in your diatribe.

Fill me in.

I skipped every single Agile training session because I knew it was a fad.

What next ridiculous piece of shite will I be skipping?

Is it worse than KanBan boards and PI meetings that shut the corporation down 4 times a year?
