To be sick of work jargon and bollocks

[DynamoKev]

The latest one is being invited to several "Town Halls" on zoom.

They are not held in a hall of any kind.

It is a fucking stupid and meaningless term - they should actually just say what the fucking meeting is for.

I hate all corporate speak. Let's be honest, most of the jobs in corporations these days are actually pointless and these things have to be invented to justify people having a job.

Ugh yeh started that shite at our work. And no one explained WTF it was as if we all should be up on this latest bullshittery. Bore off.

It's nice that people seem to have stopped going on about silos, but they always end up with some new wanky buzz phrase, don't they?

We've had 'Town Halls' for a few years now. Pre Covid, they always took place in one of the large meeting rooms, so fuck knows what that's all about.

I have actually hosted a “town hall meeting” and I still haven’t a clue what it is.

Oh we have this, I wonder if we all work for the same company

YANBU I hate all this shit.

When I had a proper job, we had a manager who talked corporate shite and his own made up shite....we played bs bingo in meetings.

Amen to that.

I’ve had “town hall” meetings at a couple of companies.
Pre covid it seemed to be code for “there won’t be a seat for everyone, please come and stand and listen to us talk for 45 mins.”

Ah yes, we have 'town halls' too

Town Hall meetings are named after what American politicians do for debates.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Town_hall_meeting

It's just the name of a meeting format where someone senior meets with a large group of people who are their constituents or voters or workers, to share information and to allow the people below to ask questions.

Surely if they are on Zoom they should be called Parish Council meetings, especially if no-one has any authority!!
