Honestly, despite my transgression, I think it’s time to fight back and reclaim our conference rooms! Are you with me in this? Have you completely lost track of what exactly is the crown jewel in your organization ‘cause the term is thrown around so often? Do you find it offensive when your boss starts sentences with the terribly condescending, help me understand? Isn’t it ridiculous in this day and age for people to actually reference crystal balls??
In order to get the biggest bang for the buck, we need to leverage our collective strength and voice! From this day forward, refuse to give anything the sniff test! Don’t allow any wiggle room! Just say no to taking a stab at anything!
If we can get some traction, we can have a true win-win vis à vis perpetrators of corporate-speak!
Feel free to pile on with more phrases for the backlist! I welcome your comments.
Remember, if you don’t have anything nice to say, my door is always open. Point well taken!
