If someone else says “Align” one more time it’s knuck checking time

This word is my new arch nemesis. Making sure we are aligned! Do we have alignment? Lets align! Dude omg I can’t take it anymore. Is everyone just a professional actor? Acting like they care about all this corporate BS. shite is draining man. I just want to own a pizza joint on the beach that operates at a loss, but I can still afford to live somehow. Is that too much to ask for?

Can the old heads here let me know what office jobs were like before computers and Microsoft office were a thing? Seems like everyone was just walking around smoking cigarettes/cigars, drinking whiskey, and hitting on the secretaries.

You're going to check a knuck?

It was like Mad Men from the 40’s through the 90’s. Work was a party.

Corporate shills are the most miserable sacks of shite. Can’t stand them.

if you're a good girl, your husband might help you open a boutique that he can subsidize $50k/yr to keep afloat. Small price to pay to get you out the house so he can frick around with the girls you hire.

Maybe you should think out of the box more. Perhaps you should have a little more buy in and partner with me on the change that we need to advance our goals and achieve synergy.

"Journey" is the word I wouldn't mind never hearing again.

It’s definitely a corporate thing… I am in lots of emails with some supply chain big wigs and they all say it. Just another thing I get to mock.

You can't just go around looking at people's knuck all willy nilly without consent. That's how you wind up on a list.

I tell truckers all day we can work together if we can align on rates. That's my way of saying I need a backhaul quote without actually saying it. It's much quicker than typing out "If you can cover this at a rate where both our margins can stay in line......." Sorry brother. Just easier to say Align.
I won't CC you in any emails. You have my word.

A lot of us want to be straight out of align. I can't find a reason, why you should justify your ways.
