Well, she's just full of them, now she said ringfence a couple times. The very old guy running the meeting just said moonshot, too, guess he felt he was falling behind the chick. |

Can there be any new buzzwords? I had a boss (highly compensated bitch from hell) that used them to cover up her ignorance.
Circle back. Shift the process. Drill down. Granular. Buy in Build consensus Emotional intelligence Silo busting One I borrowed from an old Dilbert cartoon that made my fellow snicker doodles laugh was, "shift the paradigm without a clutch". |

Back in the day I worked in a remote office and had weekly management/ corporate meetings via conference call. We maintained a white board of all of the hot buzzwords and plugged them into our updates to corporate in a hilarious fashion.

Circle back has been big, especially with HR, ever since that red headed cunt Jen Psaki would use it for every question she didn't want to answer in a presser.

How is Zoom meeting a buzzword, when the software is actually called "Zoom"? Are they calling a Teams meeting a zoom meeting or something?
I've been hearing people use the term "circle back" for at least 20 years. Jen Psaki didn't invent that. |

A moonshot is when a fat 10 yo smokes one out of the park in little league.

I have a t-shirt with #moonshot on it that management thought would be a great motivator for our project team. I think we had a pizza party when they gave them out too.
 No one liked when I pointed out the Soviet moonshot was a total clusterfuck of a failure and Americans died during ours. "Which one did you mean to reference??" I was not a "team player" that day. Ultimately 13 people quit and while it didn't blow up on launch, the product didn't quite land on the moon either. |

"Low hanging fruit"
"We need to digest this (information) first" As for "skirts", that is kind of harmless, I did get a talking to for using the term "broads", example: When checking my email, "Damn it, don't these corporate broads have anything better to do all day than send out bullshit emails clogging up my inbox?". |

Heh, you guys would love tech. Take all of those, and add a whole new dictionary derived from sci-if.
“I think I grok it…” “Yeah, I know it’s not cheap. TANSTAAFL.” “These aren’t the ____ we’re looking for” The rest of the business world might knock things out of the park - we roll nat 20s. |
