HK Hibee Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 There is a guy at my office who tries to use all the buzz words and phrases to show he knows what is going on. However he is not even capable of speaking bs properly. The other day on a Teams call he told us all to “keep our ear to the grapevine”.

Donathan Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Interviewed for a role recently which involved a “Daily scrum” at 9:30am. I assume this is nothing to do with rugby. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume this is nothing to do with rugby. I had a temp role with the local council about 18 months ago and they had this. It lasted at least an hour every day. 5 hours a week sat on a call where nothing was agreed, planned or decided. Nearly a full working day sat where you couldn't do work. The worst week was when a week of 'dally scrums' lasted 9 and a half hours in total. Brutal. 10 people not working for nearly 10 hours in a week. The public sector baby! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottsdad Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 In my old job I had a "diary meeting" on a Monday morning. Except it was on the other side of Edinburgh. So, 45 minutes each way, for an hour long meeting - basically Monday morning was done just by saying what we were all doing that week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couple of new ones I heard recently, someone replied to their own email I had intentionally ignored and told me they were just "bubbling it up" Also "to language" as in how do you wish to language this? Language, as a verb FFS Some of the football analysts are equally as wanky, going on a run with the ball is now a "progressive carry"? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Along the lines of this, there is a guy who has been in the job 5/6 years but is still fucking useless.on a course last week he asked a very specific question about the name of a batterym when the tutor said he had no idea, the guy replied some jargon bullshit. At this point the tutors assistant burst out laughing and in his thick Manchester accent said "that's the size of the battery, you doughnut." He also regularly tells clients he will need to go to the workshop and go through the stock "with a fine toothpick". p***k. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had one a while back who sent out a long involved email, but in the very first line used the phrase "to all intensive purposes" which very much negated the impact of whatever followed.

We have one who is particularly bad for that type of thing. Although she'd probably have spelled intensive incorrectly. In her drive for effiency she types so fast everything she produces is incoherent nonsense. Caps lock on and off mid-word, font changes, zero instead of o and vice versa. Every communication looks like a ransom note or the cover of Never Mind the Bollocks. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
