"You're on mute" is a statement of fact, Much as we'd like to return to the old normal of not needing it, it's still needed. But, hey, you do you. "Supply Chain" ? That's just a thing, you can't banish it. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 7, 2022 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2022 Agree, I'd like to not have to hear 9 and 10, but that won't change the reality. Most of those sayings don't bug me except 6 and 7 are annoying corporate speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why couldn't she stand it? I don't have a clue! 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted January 7, 2022 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2022 The one that's bugging me that I've heard a lot in the last few weeks is "Receipts?" or some variation of that to mean show proof of something. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randomguy Posted January 7, 2022 Share #11 Posted January 7, 2022 "No worries" is never going away. It is just a damn good phrase, too useful and expresses a subtle calming sentiment while concluding a discussion. A little pissant university can't cancel words like that. If they were smart, they would've started with "latinx" or some other garbage term everyone wants gone; that would've generated some momentum. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't see an upside opportunity here where we get rid of those occasionally good ones like you do you, and replace them with truly relevant and modern ones like kitchen window?

I'm just spitballing here, but I think it has traction. At the end of the day, we’ll all circle back. The new normal will be the same as ever. That being said, I don’t care. The next catch phrases will be as grating as the current ones. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No worries At the end of the day That being said Asking for a friend Circle back Deep dive New normal You’re on mute Supply chain I don't hear #5 used hardly at all. People ask and give the reason directly...at least, where I am and have been. Why would I ever say #5? Sound disingenious. If I want to know, I ask it and own my question. #6, is grating for me to hear. It sounds too conscientous. Ok, you don't have to tell me that you're going to #6. There's certain biz speak in the working world that just gets dull and boring. After awhile, I tune out.

shootingstar Posted January 7, 2022 Share #21 Posted January 7, 2022 And in the biz world (profit and non-profit): dashboarding, metrics (instead of statistics). Or is metrics only used in Canada? Metrics is to infer quantitative measurement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
