Re: The Most Painfully Annoying Business Jargon

Hey Matty, let's take this discussion off-line. I think we can leverage our assets and develop a holistic approach to maximize our synergy efforts across multiple platforms. I'll want to loop in the other mods as well. Then we can circle back with the group. This might be a tough putt but let's not trip over midgets here. We'll have to true up the results with our projections.

LOL. My current supervisor actually doesn't talk this way. Everything for him is in terms of a football game

Ugh I had a manager like that once.

"Ok who's going to QB this project?"

"We need a clean handoff on this, no fumbling allowed"

How about every "report" being dubbed a "matrix"

The word "synergy." Synergize this.

I saw a book in one of our school libraries that was titled "SYNERGISM". I can't help but laugh every time I'm there and see it with that dull, yellow 2" binding.

LOL. Sort of.

You're moving the ball downfield, getting those first downs, but let's get some more points on the scoreboard. Let's turn some of those first downs into touchdowns.

Don't try to take this project on on your own. Follow your lead blockers

Re: The Most Painfully Annoying Business Jargon

Ok I pick up my cell to call home and the office phone starts to ring so I hang up and pick up the office phone but no one is there. This happens 3 times and I start getting ticked that someone keeps hanging up on me when I realize I'm calling the office number and not my house hanging up on myself.
