Omg I love this thread. I’m always telling my boyfriend about the stupid things my colleagues say hahaha
the ones I hate the most are:
‘let’s chew the fat’ (always makes me feel sick)
‘Fitting a square peg into a round hole’
‘Ringfence’
‘Draw up a straw man’
I’m sure there are so many more, I can probably comment each workday evening with a new update
Secret squirrel, and calling people ‘resource’. Doing anything with a matrix and huddling. Also when someone’s clearly done an entry-level Lean/Six-Sigma course and they start applying the jargon to the wrong things entirely.
someone on my team always calls people out when they call people ‘resources’ and rightly so. He’s like ‘when you say resource do you mean humans? Like, people?’
