Very trivial and not in the least bit important but I’ve not heard this expression before!

[Grabbner]

Got an email from Tesco with updates on their progress and handling of the situation. In it they say they will “take learnings”.

Is that some sort of business speak that has passed me by?

That sound like business speak like ‘going forward’ and ‘reaching out’.

God that's fairly cringey.

That's some serious blue sky thinking going on there. I imagine they will action that immediately

Ha! That doesn’t even make sense.

This is the worst thing I've heard since the current crisis began.

Is it a known phrase? Or have they made it up?!

But take them where? To the bin most likely.

Take learnings from this @Grabbner and get with the programme eye roll eye roll huff tut

HR in my workplace talk about the 'learns that we need to take forward' after every time they've messed up.

Sassanacs I’m taking as we speak :)

It sounds like something that ends up in the French language.
Un learning. 😨

Melon that sounds like a similar use of “learn” then.

Borderline illiteracy. Like Melon's HR department, someone's forgotten the word for 'lessons', no one quite likes to correct them, and very soon they'll all be at it thinking they sound modern. Gah.

Maybe - "Learnings have been lessoned" would work. 😂

Just a simple 'learn from' would be fine - prat's who try to sound much cleverer than they are.

“We will take lessons from these learnings, and make new learnings as we take forward our learnt lessons”

How’s that sound? :)

In amongst all the emails I've had from various companies I've shopped with, I had one from somewhere I forget, telling me they were doing their 'upmost' during the CV crisis.

@Melonportal

I think it sounds like it’s from the midlands.

Or maybe "learnings have been lessened".

Maybe it is leanings. They are going to put posters up in the stores showing you how to lean back that extra bit to make the full 2m when the queue is too close ?

Spekenzie the same linguidy?

If you take learnings, then add learnings... what do you have?

Learnings

FFS I'm so bored 😑

@Helga fucking cleverists

Ugh. I hate this kind of corporate-speak.

Take learnings?
Are they working from home and the toddler has taken over for a bit!
