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

I've seen and heard and our company slogan one too many times. They spent a lot of money coming up with this somehow, and when they unveiled it last year, there was total silence and a few laughs in the auditorium.

Walk the process

"we need to talk about your performance."

I say this alot to my boss/aunt "We need to find new revenue streams" or "we need to increase revenue". She seems to be content with the current receivables, but I am not. I always give her the Tommy Boy line "In business, you're either growin or you're dyin." This is a family business, mind you, and I think my aunt is seriously mailing it in until she retires.

"add some color"

As a designer: "Can it be more organic?"

" Bubble up any new ideas you have"

We need to wrap our arms around this new project"

"This new reorganization will build synergies within our organization"

"Dont put the cart before the horse..."
"The net effect is positive"
"Ultimately..."
"Realistically..."
"The reality of the situation is..."
"As per..."
"Please advise..."
"Just another day in paradise..."
"It is what it is..."
"It never ends..."
"Thats par for course..."
"I cant win to lose..."
"Theyll get you coming and going..."
"You need to be a Philadelphia lawyer to understand that..."

"Laser Focused"

One person used it 14 times in one meeting.

I may, I think I usually "get together with" mike and "iron out some issues".
