Yeah, now that I think about it, I do see (and use) that one a lot... Legolas Send a noteboard - 23/05/2019 08:27:50 PM

I work for a much smaller company but it so happens that I'm frequently in contact with your international colleagues (never with anyone in North America though). There are some buzzwords or phrases that I only really see used by companies like yours, so I see them often enough but would never use them myself, and then there are some that we also use a lot. This one would be in the second category. It's never really particularly bothered me, though...


View original postLet's not stop here. There's still more! Why oh why does the person leading the call inevitably say something like, "I'm hearing that if we blah, blah, blah, then blah, blah blah will be the result." Yes. We heard that as well. Evidently, your ears are functioning just fine. Oh that wasn't your point? You want clarification? To make sure you didn't misunderstand? So, there was a question lurking in there? Well why not fucking say so????

Yeah, I think this one is more in the first category. Although who knows, maybe over time we'll start using it too.

Thank God no, I haven't heard it. It would change my alignment to Chaotic Evil. *NM* Tom - 23/05/2019 08:46:33 PM 242 Views
You are fortunate. In my last 60 minute call, align or aligned was used 22 times. *NM* damookster - 23/05/2019 09:22:18 PM 241 Views
