    If I can’t ask where the value is added, how else am I supposed to politely ask, “what’s the fucking point of this bullshit?”

    If I can’t say “it is what it is” how else am I supposed to politely tell someone, “I don’t give a fuck.”?

      Business speak is just a polite wrapper around needing to be rude.

      “Let’s table this” - shut up, your point is irrelevant

      “We’ll circle back” - I want to end this stupid meeting but unfortunately we’ll have to talk about it again later.

      “We have to synergize” - If you two teams don’t start playing nice together, I’m going to sell the whole company.
