The latest corporate bullshit term I've noticed starting to increase

[StealthPolarBear]

A year ago people used to want meeting 'minutes' or 'notes' .
As of about six months ago I started to hear the term 'meeting read out' and it's on the increase.

OP thank you for the warning as it has not reached me yet. I agree about silly words and expressions.

The one that's gathering pace where I work is 'deep dive' - so instead of 'at next week's meeting June will explain the changes to the system' it's 'look forward to a deep dive into the HR space'. Deep dive seems to equal look in detail!

Never heard that term. Hope I don't in my workplace either!

Ah we've had deep dives for a couple of years. They mean 'really long slide packs' where we are.
That's not a deep dive!

I've noticed an unfortunate rise in the verb "cascade" in my workplace; ie, "please can you cascade this information to your team."

I hate it.

Everyone I know is “pivoting their business”

Currently I hate “low hanging fruit”

Does anyone send memos anymore, or shall I go back to 1987

I hope 'drill down' is slowly being unused

I hope 'drill down' is slowly being unused

That's been replaced by deep dive!

I’ve been a journalist for 25 years and “presser” has been in use for the entire time. It may be more an American media thing, though. Same with “staffer”.

Also, deep dives have been a thing in US journalism for ages.

Deep dive
Cascade
Meets - instead of meetings
Low hanging fruit
Publish (share on Teams)
Upstream
COVID secure environment
Digital geography landscape (my living room as I don't have a home office)
Pivot
Lean in
Trajectory

I'm always shocked if I can get through a meeting without all the above being used

Yeah I have to do a deep dive next week so I can provide a post mortem to my boss by end of play Friday.

We don’t send anything anymore. We reach out!

"Sighted/unsighted" and "space" very common in my world. Also "takeaways", "back briefs", and "bluf"

My boss keeps asking me where I see potential pinch points during the year. I'm not sure he's talking about my trousers + covid pudge.

We get this shite where I am. Recently everyone is expected to be "in the detail". But my favourite is one DH came out if an online meeting laughing about. Someone said "Susan, you have a hand raised do you have a question?" Susan replied "oh sorry, no. Its just a legacy hand from before".

LEGACY HAND FFS.

Ah these make me laugh ,Cascade has been around a while ,we were cascading information when I worked in the NHS over six years ago ,We also used to escalate things Ie tell a manager
Does everyone still end emails with ,Kind regards?

'At pace' ..well yes we all want to get things done as efficiently and quickly as poss but 'at pace' suggests a go getting super achiever no time for wasters type who inevitably causes more problems than they solve .

One I have noticed a lot recently though is Transition ,kids don't just move up to high school these days they Transition and Transition between class,s ,my son is at a special school and is due to " transition to a special needs high school in September " so it's something I hear a lot

What on earth is bluf?

I'm afraid legacy hand is so widely used now it doesn't even raise an eyebrow

Bluf is Bottom Line Up Front. As in cut to the chase and tell me in one line what this fucking report is about so I can decide whether or not it’s worth reading.
It’s quite handy really - and military.

My favourite one.
"Are you picking up what I'm putting down?"

Nobody was sure if it was meant metaphorically or literally!
😂😂😂

Not heard that one yet. Reach out and share with tend to piss me off as they are usually said by cold calling recruitment consultants. As in:

Recruiter who I've never spoken to before "I'm reaching out so you can share your recruitment plans with me".

Why on earth am I going to hand over confidential HR info to any old random cold caller?

Everyone I know is “pivoting their business”

Are they all being disruptive as well?
