“Expected (or anticipated) deliverables”. Saw this in a family members email.

I’m rarely exposed to this in healthcare at all, as I am never on the management side.

I lol’d when I read it. I also sent a “corporate translator” tik tok video to the person.

What’s the best real world one that any of you have seen? Not on a video or spoof. I mean someone actually wrote/typed it and sent it out? Or worse said it out loud.

Of all the buzz words and bullshite out there you focused on "expected deliverables" at least that has a practical meaning.

You better synergize lest they circle back and optimize your arse.

I’m in education. It’s all nonsense. And at principals meetings, they all nod their heads and say “yeah” and “uh huh” like they have any idea or do any of this crap.

I don’t want to hear data driven outcomes for the rest of my life.

I've been in the military for nearly 30 years, jargon and acronyms are all I speak now.

We have several senior executive and directors that will say they want to "double click" on a topic. And the word "perspective" is about the most overused word in my company.

Career limiting.

I was threatened by a HR person that if I didn’t do something it could be “Career Limiting.” I laughed at her and said “are you threatening to fire me? Because I don’t work for you.”

In my world, that verbal tick is “evidence based”

I thought the point of the OP was about throwing goofy corporate-speak like that into family/personal communications.

Is that how you typically speak with your loved ones?

Wait, nevermind.

Corporate speak is one of the things I look forward to never seeing again in retirement.
All that garbage is V.I.T.M. That’s corporate speak for Vomit In The Mouth

Best gaff in an email was a co-worker writing “booking in the rear” instead of “booking in arrears”.
