Please do this unnecessary thing or something that I should be doing instead, and make my job easier. I’ve got lunches & useless meetings where we all jerk each other off to attend. Thanks!”

As a person who has lunches and has meetings where we all jerk each other off, I can promise you that I need you pleebs to cover my basic shite, while I learn more about how to become my boss

And the person who willingly takes up the slack, reaps the benefits... it's a filter for the best in-house candidate

Beginning any sentence with “So” or “As you already know” especially when I clearly do not.

The abject inability of anyone to speak up and say “No, that is a bad idea” or if you do it is career suicide.

The word “Deliverables”

I agree.

In fact, we should propose solutions that help restructure legacy systems to make them more proactive, not reactive for today's modern workforce to encourage mobility, flexibility, and resilliency.

In doing so, it means taking a holistic approach to transitional concepts that take advantage of open-source systems that are functional, responsive, and with a balanced approach. This allows for a more organic, future-proof multi-platformed streamlined world-class ecosystem that empowers the individual with the agility to passionately innovate.

Moving forward it should be key that organizations key into their ability to ideate the value add of such bleeding-edge concepts.

Validate the process using cross-functional teams.


and yes to "Bandwidth". Why not just say you are overloaded and cannot do your job. Replacing "slammed" with "bandwidth" does not make you any less of a slacker.

I will never work for another matrix organization ever again, total clusterfrick.

I try to construct emails entirely out of buzzwords just to troll my coworkers

It shows up in the civil engineering world, but nothing like the world of business consultants. I went to a couple of networking meetings with pure business consultants...

I work in corporate. I fricking hate it. AMA
