I just wanted to reach out to you......

[93LXHORSE]

One of the temp agency's I pull "potential" employees from says that CONSTANTLY.

Exactly. It is a buzzword I hear a lot in dialogue with recruiter types.

Yeah, it's happy-homey-I-want-to-sound-like-I-care-about-you-but-in-reality-you-haven't-replied-to-me-lately-so-I'll-call-you filler.

reach out + touch base = I haven't heard back from you and I'm trying not to call you the no-call-returning-asshole that you really are.

Are just a few of the acronyms and abbreviations that are used constantly in emails with my department. I have a guy that is our Intel analyst that I swear makes up his own shit then tries to make you feel like a tard when you ask him what the fuck.

Then there is the fucksticks in meetings who get upset when they say "good morning" or "how us everyone today?" When the guy before them did the same thing but this one gets butt hurt when nobody responds so they repeat their greeting.

We have a guy in our group that drives us nuts with all sorts of "manager-speak". He's genuinely a very nice guy, but also way too talkative, and has apparently read way too many books on management....so much so that most of the people in our org just think that he's full of shit all the time.

Common phrases (in addition to reach out or back, or "ping" someone)....

- "We need to huddle on X" ...
- "Let's all lean-in hard on X...."
- Something "Coming to fruition"
- "Let's ensure that we yield a response"
- "We need to drill down" or sometimes "drill-in"
- "Leverage our stakeholders"
- Reference to "core competencies"
- Something coming to the "End of play"

...and a whole list of others. It's a shame too, b/c the guy is actually pretty smart and he comes up with some good ideas sometimes, but it's like he tries too hard and is usually dismissed by people because of his plastic-like delivery when he's talking. I've even seen some of our upper managers just flat cut him off at times. If he'd just take the mask off and talk like a real person he'd probably be way more respected and successful.

Don't rage too hard, but...



"Mission Statement"

[Verse 1:]
We must all efficiently
Operationalize our strategies
Invest in world-class technology
And leverage our core competencies
In order to holistically administrate
Exceptional synergy
We'll set a brand trajectory
Using management's philosophy
Advance our market share vis-à-vis
Our proven methodology
With strong commitment to quality
Effectively enhancing corporate synergy
Transitioning our company
By awareness of functionality
Promoting viability
Providing our supply chain with diversity (versity, ooooh)
We will distill our identity
Through client-centric solutions
And synergy (Oooooh oooh oooh)
(Ahhhhhh)

[Bridge:]
At the end of the day (At the end of the day)
We must monetize our assets
The fundamentals of change
Can you visualize a value-added experience?
That will grow the business infrastructure and
Monetize our assets
Monetize our assets
Monetize our assets

[Verse 2:]
Bringing to the table
Our capitalized reputation
Proactively overseeing
Day-to-day operations
Services and deliverables
With cross-platform innovation
Networking, soon will bring, seamless integration
Robust and scalable, bleeding-edge and next-generation
Best of breed
We'll succeed
In achieving globalization

[Outro:]
And gaining traction with our resources in the marketplace
It's mission-critical to stay incentivized
Against this purple-poster-flexible-solutions [?] for our customer base
If you can't think outside the box
You'll be downsized
It's a paradigm shift! (Hey, Hey! Look out!)
Well, it's a paradigm shift, now!
(Here we go! Here we go! Here we come! Here we come! Ha!)

^Nice, especially on the heels of our discussion.
