Dr Koop Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Have you reminded them of the dental torture scene in Marathon Man? Reminds me of an email that went around the staff of a newspaper I worked at some years ago, requesting suggestions for ways to 'monetise our internet presence'. I do feel the urge to shit when I see words like that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raidernation Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 I recall being at PT meetings at a certain Aberdeen school where we were regularly informed to "cascade this" and ensure "the information stream" was kept flowing. Oh, and when they started trying to implement CfL (about 18 months after my previous school had actually managed it) there were all sorts of "Learning outcomes" (tests) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 On a project just now as a finance partner and the project manager keeps talking about the RAG status of outstanding issues. She just wants everything to be described as Red, Amber or Green. It's most certainly corporate nonsense. 'What's the RAG Status of the work you've got to do?' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlipperyP Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 I'd like to know what kind of job you were after and what things they were asking that led them to the "passion for insights" conclusion. WTF does that even mean? I don't know either but I've got their email letsworktogether@insightwithpassion.co.uk http://www.insightwithpassion.co.uk/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P45 Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Ingest. "The cost of the new array will be ingested by the project." Cool bro, but how about trying to speak like a normal person? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 One of the guys in our office phoned in this morning saying that he and his pregnant wife were off to hospital as her contractions had started. Boss hangs up the phone and let's everyone know then says "He'll probably be back in tomorrow, it'll just be the Branston Kicks". Tea everywhere. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
