Buzzwords in business setting

[CJ-95GT]

"Cherry Pick"

[ceyko]

I hate most of them that have been mentioned, but find myself saying most of these terms from day to day.

Give me the 30,000 foot overview.

You guys should listen to a few earnings calls if you want to hear some real doozies.

I'm glad I no longer work in an office environment where I have to deal with bullshit buzzwords.

This.

Some of the conversations around here have actually included the phrase " I call Bullshit"

Give me the 30,000 foot overview.

I can think of several I'd like to shove out of an airplane for a 30,000 foot view.

Yeah, I hear you. That is corporate speak for "We don't want to get our hands dirty, so let us know what the peons think about implementing our think-tank idears."

WTH is "Kaizen"?

It's where you take a bunch of people from different departments and put them together to figure out ways to improve department processes. In theory it means you get outside of the box opinions without using outside consulting firms.

In some industries they are great, in others it's just something they do to keep an ISO certification. In reality if you have a fairly responsive management team that's responsive to employee suggestions they don't do much.

I'm guilty of it, but "Reach out" is getting on my nerves.

"reach out to that team and validate their SOW"

I'm not fucking Stretch Armstrong.... how about just say " contact that team"

[Cannon88]

"At the end of the day..."

[Chili]

I know we have all heard the normal list (feel free to add):
*Circle back
*table that discussion
*Kaizen
*lean six sigma

One my boss got into the vernacular here as a joke and it took off, is "dollarize". as in, "lets dollarize that project"

So I saw this thread on another message board and came across "Solutioneering". It is my goal to get this into our vernacular in the next 3 months.

What drives you nuts at your work?

Lean Six Sigma isn't a buzzword, it's a proper noun.

One of my old bosses used to say holistically at least once a day. lol

I try to avoid using them but sometimes it's just easier to so that my "audience" knows exactly what I'm talking about. And some of them have just rubbed off on me.

Order of magnitude

Elevator pitch

Baby dick

[Silverback]

[Blame Canada]

P90, P80, P70, P50, P25. Sick of hearing this every day around here. Just tell me if you have the contract or not. If you don't, be aggresive and fucking get it.
