Let’s have a lunch and learn!
Wow, lots of “double clicks”, which is fairly new to the usual list.
Because it’s new and awful. Also implies that these massive new work is just a simple tasks. 0/10
Collaborator instead of employee. That’s a usage that has spread through every company in French. It’s infuriating how it.she just plain lying.
Can we “just double click on that” for a second?
shudders
What would a linux user say for this?
“Can we just dot slash that then chmod plus x that semicolon dot slash that for a second”A linux user would just throw a craft beer bottle.
I’m in this comment and I begrudgingly like it. Carry on.
I had a visceral reaction to this. If you’ve heard this in real life, my deepest sympathies.
What is it even supposed to mean?!
“Let’s explore that topic more”
I have to say, I have used the phrase “Drill Down” to refer to the same thing? Does it cause the same reaction?
Ew.
‘contextual knowledge’
this gem was put forward in all seriousness when the data didn’t support the claims in the report: “it’s not in the numbers, but we have a pretty good sense that this is true”
“vibes”
“Learnings”
Yes its an old word and was repopularized by Borat of all things.
Ugh. Just say lessons or something. Leanings just sounds … wrong.
I heard “rightsizing” for the first time last year.
I have no idea what knucklehead PR dumbass came up with that but it made the following layoffs even more unpalatable.
The only time I hear rightsizing is for cloud resources. I’ve never heard of it in human resources. That sucks.
Bio break.
I don’t think I have to elaborate on that one.
fuck. i hate this one the most.
just say “break.” let everyone else decide for themselves if it needs to be biological in nature.
Bio break.
My friend uses that all the time.
It means a pee break, a tea break, sometimes a ‘walk rover’ break. When meetings cross that 44-min mark, it’s break time.
This is a gamer term. I’ve never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.
Def all over the business world. It’s more polite than saying “okay, let’s have a 5 minute break from this meeting so everyone can piss and get some more coffee”
Lucky you, it’s all over my company.
I’ve never heard it in a business environment. Even as a IT engineer.
My friend manages a team of engineers and TAMs for massive companies that do stuff like make airplanes and manage phone networks and you know the names. They specifically produce a toolsuite and rent out pro-serv nerds to go to mammoth DCs and show people where they fucked up their cabling and double the throughput. Like, SO nerdy.
‘bio break’ is used a few times a day.
- Its unprofessional.
- Its gross. Saying something thats basically “gonna go take a dump” is unnecessary. Personally I don’t give two shits, but not everyone is as easygoing as me. Best to keep a professional hat on at work.
I did use it at work once and a single “Dude TMI” was all it took for me to stop. Online playing an MMO as a group is casual and often used as a trigger for a group break.
At work I just say “going to step away for a bit” and that’s all that’s needed.
I like it because it’s so vague.
A nap is pretty biological! And nobody will ask why your bio break was an hour long.
Thats not so much a corpo thing as a gamer thing IMO.
“AFK, Bio break” is much quicker to type.
I like “piss” and my char just stops moving
“AFK, Bio
This is all you needed to type. Kids are too lazy to type the rest.
Quicker than “brb, bathroom”?

I never heard a gamer use “bio break” lol
Uh. It’s been used for YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAARS in MMOs.
^ usually just “brb bio” or “afk bio”, or just “bio”.
Its seriously old, like, “woot” or “LFG” levels of old.
Maybe it’s an American thing, because give never heard it used on European servers
Makes sense! I haven’t played a real-time MMO since RuneScape was new! Haha
I don’t use that, I usually just say I’m going to go grab some water but it’s better than saying “brb ima go take a wicked piss”. That being said, I’d respect the hell out of anyone who said that
I always used “gotta go drain the lizard.”
I work at a school and that one gets used sometimes. A lady that helps us develop programming said it quite often and my colleagues picked it up, I don’t use it myself.
Yeah, hate this. To everyone saying it’s not corporate: or certainly is. I did B2B work for around a hundred corps through the one I worked at and I heard it at probably 70% of them.
It’s just the company trying to control literally every part of your life. Like who gives a shit what I do on my break? That, and you can’t get an “extra” break later saying you have to pee.
Huh. I literally only know this from the context of mmo games.
TIL where that is from

People saying something needs to be flushed out when they really want it fleshed out.
I suppose it could be used in the sense of a dog flushing out game for the hunters - to make something hidden visible so it can be dealt with.
Lmao!
I’d ask if they want me to get rid of it.
I also have a colleague who refers to Apple computers as MAC, and has at least once asked for MAC addresses of some devices when what she meant was IP addresses last associated with the devices.
Anything they use to replace the word “layoffs”.
Rightsizing
Fun sizing
Snack Sizing
Excising.
“Opportunities” when talking about shitty metrics.
Place I worked at some time ago made a big speech and unveiled the following company motto to a lot of confused faces: “Engagement makes awareness sustainable.”
Nice. I’ll drive alignment on this value with my directs. I’ll status you tomorrow.
I don’t have a problem with the words - I have a problem with them getting appropriated and destroyed by corporates.
One company I worked for decided it was a good idea to name a bunch of firings due to performance “Project Panda” 🤦
I mean that one is kinda funny. “Project Sloth” might have worked a bit better but been too on the nose.
The Q3 numbers have a life of their own. Growing, shrinking, zig zagging all over the place. Pushing needles, pulling levers. And fyi, the roi is tbd. high five synergy!
This sounds like an Eric Andre sketch
Yesterday I aligned with Harold from the CD team on how to pull the data off their SI table, and so today I’m going to work on validating that data. I’ll probably be done by tomorrow
