I’ve decided to leverage the 80/20 rule in order to find synergies during our next huddle. I will run the numbers and hit the ground running after I run it up the flagpole. It is what it is and because my ducks are in a row the elephant is in the room.


I am 100% convinced that most meetings could be an email if people would quit overusing jargon. All of the above sayings were said during a 45 minute call this morning. Some more than once.

We can’t use the word “token” anymore.

Let me double clock on that and I'll circle back for a deep dive.

“Uber”

This is the go to word of every female white collar office executive. “I’m Uber excited about our forthcoming 3Q DEI initiative!!”

So fricking dumb.

hard to adjust some of the small details there because it has lots of moving parts, this will involve some blue sky thinking, let's circle back tomorrow, maybe we can reinvent the wheel here and move the needle in the right direction

We've got one that always starts with, "Good morning team. I'll be real brief..." Proceeds to ramble on for 15 mins talking about shite that's already been said.

Using “ask” instead of “question”. “The ask is…”

DEI. That is going to make corporations DIE.

Take 30,000 view of the issue, then we can huddle to drill down into the finer points. Once we get a clearer picture, we can cascade our thoughts to the team. I need it right, but not right now.

ELEVATE

Hate that fvcking word in a corporate capacity. The Bud Light VP woman used it several times to justify the tranny debacle.

Diversity is our strength

Out of abundance of caution

Troubling times

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic

Yeah I have one of those too. She’s the one that always overtalks everyone during zoom calls. She repeats bs over and over and never wavers. Mostly because she cannot listen while she overspeaks the rest of the callers. We’ve had 10+ hours of calls because she won’t budge on her thoughts and finds a million different ways to spout the same shite.

"We really, really appreciate the hard work that all of you do, but unfortunately we won't be able to give annual raises or cost of living adjustments at this time. Again, thank you for all that you do! Have an awesome day!"
