why the fuck do so many people give a shit about office phrases like this

Basically only autists care about this shit because they haven't a fucking clue about non-literal language.

>>1477990

The autistic thing is using meme-language and office jargon like you are above the rest of mortal plebs who are not on "your wavelength".

It's just a ridiculous thing and it usually sounds pretentious.

>>1477990
Can I just interject?

When the OP posts meme arrows with a macro of a frog, we can, shall we say, monotonectally disseminate fungible quality vectors, and in turn, phosfluorescently cultivate cloud-centric methodologies against them.

>>1478001
who gives a shit... it's a figure of speech.

Wiping your ass after shitting probably sounds pretentious to a hygiene-impaired NEET. Just because the conversations you're used to hearing at work probably center on you changing the fry oil, don't make assumptions about social settings you've only seen on TV.

Let me just say that the difference between OP and yours is that even though the wording is strange, you can sort of make heads or tails of what is being said.

Your post is so fucking retarded like you just found out what a thesaurus is.

You fucking mong

I think touch base and reach out are 2 phrases that legitimately make me want to kill.

Fortunately I haven't had many people like this and I have found most that speak like this are MBA holders and other wanky people who aren't succesful but are in a middle manager role. Especially the ones that read leadership books and such - I met one guy for coffee who wasted about 2 hours talking about "making money outside the system" but that we stll have to "satisfy" the system like its something from the matrix, and then he turned out to be involved in some ridiculous pyramid sales scheme.

It's not a pyramid scheme!

It's a reverse funnel.

>>1477990
You're right, but both sides are kinda stupid. Business jargon is infamously stupid because it wraps vague terms ("synergy," etc.) around concepts to the point where meaning is lost.

Case in point:
>"Leverage" X
Means "Use [for our benefit]" except it's equally as vague.

Conversely, it's a bit silly to get angry around terminology that is, at the end of the day, no more stupid than what we use colloquially. I have nothing wrong with some terms and idioms, but they quickly accelerate into this cultish nightmare of vagueness I can't stand.

All of that being said, I typically see extensive use of business jargon as a sign that someone is trying to hide something from me.

Fucking awful. I work in a place where they make the wagies ask if its ok to go home. They dont leave until 7 at the earliest so they show up late and take 2 hour lunches. Nothing gets done.

the rationalized disposition is to sunset the platform so we can realize the synergy before Q4. thoughts?

Christ, where do you people work?

In my office you'd get told to fuck off if you said half of this stuff.

Are offices really this bad?

I've never worked a standard 9-5 with a bunch of other faggots who pretend like there's anything more important than accomplishing the mission, but I have worked retail, and you're making it sound like there's the same level of koolaid drinking.

I've been working a new office job for a month and I swear to fucking god I've heard the same two guys, who have been working for years, have the exact same conversation where they bitch about morning traffic and then ask each other where they live and how long their commute is at least four fucking times.

>>1480630
>Are offices really this bad?
Thy are.

There are people who literally live to make as much money or be as productive as possible for suits who would fire them in a nano-second without a second thought.

Personally, I go in and clock watch and do as little work as possible without getting fired or having management ride my ass.

>>1480647

Nah, being productive I can appreciate, but I never understood being a faggot about it or saying company slogans like anyone cares.

That said, in that kind of environment, I'd want to do what you would want to do. Do the minimum, keep my head low, and leave as early as possible.

>>1480647
>I go in and clock watch and do as little work as possible without getting fired or having management ride my ass.
say you follow the Pareto Principle at work, and spend 20% of your day producing and the remaining 80% jacking off.

the company still makes money off you at this reduced rate.

One thing this should tell you is that you're getting paid less than 1/5th of what your time is actually worth. If for example you earn $120 in a shift, and all the work you do takes you about 2 hours, and you're still profitable for the company to employ, you could reasonably be working all day making $60 per hour and they'd still make money off you.

In reality the time you spend jacking it is calculated into your wages. They know you're doing at best 2 hours of real work a day and they probably don't much care. Because those 2 hours pay them more than you get for the whole day.
