I personally despise the term stakehoder.

Good. I’d never want to be Mike Jagger.

I have a great relationship with my HR contacts. True, they tend to be more wokey than the folks in operations. However, if there is a REAL problem character in the office, they have ninja-like skills for dispatching that character as cleanly as a Clinton associate’s suicide.

Nowadays I’d recommend staying away from jokes or sayings that skate on the edge like “too many Chiefs, not enough Indians” or “between us girls...” All you need is one misplaced word or phrase.

I’ve heard that there are still guys that ogle and make 11th grader-like comments in business. I conduct myself in a way that’d make my Mom (and wife) proud. Perhaps that conduct sends a signal - as a result, they “trust” me. In turn, sometimes my HR reps let their mask slip a little. They may not be FReepers, but they aren’t antifa folks either.

'Reach out to...'

For some reason, that one particularly drives me nuts!

[Seaplaner]

Yes, they likely meant OVER JARGONED.

heh heh heh

[Seaplaner]

Replace it with "snakeholder".

I broke a few meetings up with that one.

[Jamestown1630]

A term that I used to hate when I was working was ‘wordsmith’, used as a verb.

[Roccus]

"We welcome the competition."

[Jamestown1630]

'as cleanly as a Clinton associate’s suicide.'

You have a way with words yourself...

[Srednik]

Ever played buzzword bingo?

Thanks. It’s a gift.

[minnesota_bound]

To use the phrases you should wear suspenders with a shirt with a different colored collar.

[GnuThere]

YES!!!
I was getting ready to add that one. Drives me nuts.

[Jamestown1630]

LOL.

Unfortunately (or fortunately, as you may believe) current developments in AI aren’t that simplistic. It’s going to change our lives drastically. That could be good, or catastrophic; not at all like simple ‘word salad’ that we can ignore with humor.

Not in my wheelhouse.

[sauropod]

My favorite is the “self-licking ice cream cone.”

[Fester Chugabrew]

What’s your take away on this?

“You can avoid reality, but you cannot avoid the consequences of avoiding reality.”
