re: Move over corporate "synergy" and "alignment", I've found a new, hip corporatism...

It's a fancy way of saying employees taking on new duties as assigned without additional compensation.

It just now has a fancy name.

To shore something up is to bolster or strengthen a partition so that collapse or caving in is prevented from occurring. In construction projects that have sub- grade basements or parking decks, shoring wall contractors are hired build them. I have seen them as built in holes 40-50 feet deep for high rises. So yes, the correct term use is “shore” up.

Quiet Hiring


Help me understand this one

Example: "Hey Billy, we love that you are our purchasing manager but we need to have you run this project that you have zero knowledge on"

It's a corporate way to reassign someone temporarily or have them "stretch" into a role they don't want to actually hire for. It's also bullshite because Billy usually gets no pay advantage and ends up sweating his arse off to make sure a project he isn't equipped for doesn't go south.

At.. thanks learned something nee..

You really could have nutshelled your criticism better.

Damn. Im glad I retired.

I thought diversity/inclusion was bad.

All of this nonsense is just table steaks

Well now I have to ask - when is this used in a sentence at work?

‘Hey I’m getting quietly hired to do Bill job, he is a lazy arse”

Edit - nvm explained above. Billy and Bill are crushing it

Oh yeah we use this.
Instead asking clients "how regularly do you want to meet?" You say "What's your desired meeting cadence?" Then they think you're all smart and shite

I would reply, “Just follow the rhythm of our drums.”
