I like this comic. Let’s circle back to this one later.
This one goes in the ideas fridge
We’re taking it to the synergy zone!
Lets triangle back on this
We’ll verticalize that bandwidth
By later do you mean “end of the day”?
Close of business?
I’ll pencil it in
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.
By god, they’ve become dead weight
“It is what it is” was such a part of my dad’s lexicon when I was a kid I really didn’t realize its a business speech cliché.
Like now I say it regularly and I’ve never fucking had a corporate job lol 😅
(He was a project manager at IBM for like 30+ years. So… Checks out)
didn’t know it was business talk either. i always just took it to be a polite way if saying “fuck it”
It is what it is… till it isn’t
It costs what it costs, until the money runs out.
