re: What business phrases do you hear too often at work?

That would be great...thanks a bunch!

As I am enjoying reading this thread, the dreaded "reply all" game is unfolding right in front of me .

"Polar Pop, please advise".

I would much rather "Polar Pop, take a look at this shite right here and holler back at me."

ETA:

"many thanks"

quote:

---

"drill down"
"take a deeper dive"
"Value Added"
"Touch Base"
"circle back"
"take this offline or Side Bar"
"best practice"

I think I work where you do, no joke...


I heard this one the other day and I had to write it down.

quote:

---

We are going to do a kiazen burst on our value stream.

---

I actually looked around to see if anyone else caught it.

We're behind the power curve

"stop working so hard jimbeam."
"are you sure you don't want a raise jimbeam."
"why don't you just go ahead and take a month of jim."

"best practice"


We may work at the same place.

Try not to get too much into the weeds as you spearhead this synergetic enterprise to root out whether you two leverage your skill set in the same locality.

Let me bubble this up.

I love these threads.

I'm a project manager, so I'm in a lot of meetings and I run a lot of meetings.

It's always good to have fresh catchphrases to throw around to frick with people.

Need flash

I think you mean "News"

if they say it about you often then they are using it correctly...

Its not in reference to me, and no they are not using it correctly

You need to take that offline
One meeting here!
We need to eat our own dog food
What's the upside?
I'll take that as an action item
