I'm more interested in the thoughts you clearly have about it since you started this weird thread.

Better than reaching around to communicate with them.

Let me circle back to this after I touch base.

Thanks for reaching out about your interest in my thoughts.

I hate myself for using it a lot.
Every time I say it on a conference call, I die a little inside.
I don't use "synergies" and "link up," so I have some redeeming qualities.

It’s been in generic corporate-speak for a while now.
I only use it to mock that type, “I’ll reach out to them to structure a call...”

Why does that bother you is the question?

No thoughts. What are you looking for here? Haha

Never thought about that. I’m absolutely certain I never will think about it again. Thanks for posting.

Another douchey overused corporate robo term that at the end of the day (or preferably the beginning) should just go away.
Posted on 5/23/20 at 7:51 pm to sabes que
I have no thoughts about it. How can it be analyzed or interpreted any other way?

I fricking hate corporate speak, and I lose respect for anyone who uses it.

I avoid any and all buzzwords/phrases. But sometimes, a particular meme gains such strength that it latches on to you like a fricking disease and you find yourself ensnared in the cliched utterances.

Good album. Burt even sings on it.

When it’s used verbally I don’t mind but if I read the phrase “thanks for reaching” out in an email I usually stop there.
My favorite phrase that most people hate is “I’ll hang up and listen” after asking a question. It’s hilarious.

You people who always complain about these phrases must not send a lot of emails. You have to mix things up occasionally
