Anyone else hate banking lingo and make fun of it, but as soon as a discussion starts you say "we dont want to boil the ocean here". Fml. Whats your most despised finance phrase?

Let's table this discussion so we can do a deep dive analysis on the due diligence performed on the work product to identify all low hanging fruit which is most impactful leadership and then circle back/touch base with the project team who has the bandwidth to implement changes which will take the work product to the next level in order to provide the most value-add and move the needle.

I don't know about investment banking, but "stet" in editing means to leave an edit alone - revert to undo a proposed edit.

So in your field does it mean to leave something alone?

Just heard that my district will have classroom and live-recording learning. I’m thankful because I now can feed my family, my newborn and a recent-sponsored wife! I’m scared because I’m almost 50 and I’m afraid I might catch the virus and die leaving behind my 1 month baby and a wife who is not legal in the state yet! The USCIS or Trump’s dept. thinks she’s not good enough to be in the US!! We applied for green card and SS card since August 2019!

Which is better. Can I expect more ? YOE: 4 yrs

Hey fellow fish. I’m wanting some reference to an eclectic editing style that incorporates a bunch of filmic styles into the narrative. Not in a Womb Stories way, but more in an Uncommon B&Q Build a Life way. The reference I’m thinking of cuts away to vintage black and white footage and even old cartoons. I just can’t for the life of me remember what it was for. Any suggestions would be massively appreciated!

consultant keeps making spelling mistakes on every document, including when they just need to copy and paste text directly from email instructions. when they send me work they now say “let me know if you find any spelling errors” - and while i always check work because it’s a team effort, i feel like these careless mistakes could be avoided. english isn’t their first language (nor mine), is it insensitive to ask them to double check their work? or is there any other way to handle this?
