The only brown bag I can relate to is free school meals when I was in primary school. On a day trip out we all knew who the ' brown paper kids ' were .. looking back it wasnt the best of situations where you stood out because you're a from a single parent family on benefit..It's even worse when it's a 'brown bag lunch meeting' - usually meaning you bring your own packed lunch. Cheap skates.
So glad I’m not the only one confused here! If those are jargon, I have no ways of signing an emailYeah that's just normal polite things to say in an emailbetter than just signing with your name and nothing else. Or people who don't say "Hi" first thing in an email, just your name ugh
Omg this! My morning catch up with the team the manager always says, right chaps, have a good dayI work in a male dominated industry and often get copied into emails that start with “afternoon gents”.
I worked with someone once who would send emails starting with ‘Hi men’.I work in a male dominated industry and often get copied into emails that start with “afternoon gents”.
Same! I also have a unisex name so a lot of sales people trying to sell me shit refer to me as ‘Mr’. Nope, sorry. If you’ve had the time to find out that I’m the point of contact, you have time to find out what gender I amI work in a male dominated industry and often get copied into emails that start with “afternoon gents”.
I work in IT and the phrases are a shit show aren’t they.I’ve just started a new role in IT and they adopt the Agile methodology and wow it comes with a whole universe or terms and made up job titles.

Wider Team = Scrum
Daily meetings = Daily Stand Up
Person who manages the team = Scrum Master

We (me and 2 female colleagues) often get emails from another, male, colleague that starts 'Ladies..'. One time my colleague replied back and put 'Man..' at the start of her reply. And another time another male colleague came into our part of the office and said 'afternoon ladies' and the same woman again replied 'afternoon man'. She's my hero!I worked with someone once who would send emails starting with ‘Hi men’.
Hi men?! Pardon?! He had copied me (a woman) into it as well. I really wanted to make a Hymen reference back to him but I would have got into trouble as he was one of those very very sensitive employees who would complain at the slightest thing. Hi men. Ffs.
Breakfast meetings are as old as the hills. It makes them sound very important. They probably have a clear diary for the whole day.Breakfast meeting - read ‘You are not important to fit into my 9-5 diary’
