"Corporate Jargon" can be so annoying! I cringe when someone says, "Just checking in..." What's your least favorite phrase?

At our last all hands call, we started a drinking game where every time the CEO said “strong headwinds”, we would take a shot (coffee, not liquor 😉). We were pretty productive that day after the meeting, albeit a bit jittery 😂

When someone says "we will circle back to that" it drives me absolutely insane. Why do we need to circle back? Why can't this be taken care of now? And what that really means is "I don't want to deal with that right now, please remind me next week." Drives me insane because I want it off my to do list LOL.

team work makes the dream work - and now it's in a country song!

Circle back. You mean you want to rehash something that’s already been discussed?

In street lingo - Bruh!😅😅😅 Haven't we discussed it enough?

I had one of those VERY nonproductive days today. I think I accomplished maybe an hour of billable work, even though I had a bunch of stuff to do. I just came off a 300 hour month, and unexpectedly got a continuance on a deadline on Wednesday, and it’s like all of my motivation leeched out of me at once.

I was listening to a Mufti Menk lecture yesterday on this topic. Surah Nashra is also about burdens we bear. Within this Surah,Allah SWT speaks about how He is the one that granted the cure, purity, and strength after the backs were about to break. Allah SWT takes us to this point to refine us. We never know our capabilities until we are tested and challenged. This is when we realize we can do it and we can get through it 🫶🏻! IA you got this 🫶🏻!

A friend of mine from a top tier consulting firm was counseled out. Do you consider it ethical that his career counselor is intentially spreading the information to his colleagues and to other consultants from other companies in the project? What can he do about it? Specially that he considers the potential layoff is purely based on the current situation (chargeability was low) and not on his performance (they said that his contribution to BD during his bench time was low)?
