CallunaTook Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Thanks everyone! I decided to go with outlook, and nobody has made me change it back (although they still say "future outlook" in discussion, which is fine). And as far as business jargon goes... the one I really can't stand is "mission statement." BLECH! Those things have no value add for me! (Luckily my workplace business jargon tends to be policy jargon, which is amusing to me - I think some of these acronyms are funny - or science jargon, which I enjoy because it is meaningful and people actually know what I'm saying.) 3 Quote Link to comment

You don’t repeat your missions statement all the time like you were completely brainwashed? They’re usually a big waste of time. They can be useful if everyone buys into the mission and is focused, but that’s a reflection of the statement and existing group, not a result of spending a lot of time crafting said statement. I wasted several hours making one that was a paragraph-sized run-on statement for an institution of learning. That was a huge joke and nearly caused a rebellion from the language teachers. I’m all about science jargon, and for the same reasons. 10 minutes ago, Wolfen said: I am blessed that my current teaching position is not with a "regular" school, so we rarely use the expected "edu-speak" of most schools: mission statement, vision statement, rigor, partnered learning communities (PLCs), etc. You are blessed. I think some people think jargon, and not the underlying structures, creates the change they desire. 1 Quote Adventurer, Half-Dwarf Chaotic-Good Paladin Ne me dites jamais les chances! ¡Nunca me digas las probabilidades!

Which I find to be an unethical move of intimidation. Some things are useful if you’re talking to someone else well-versed in said jargon. I use specialized jargon all the time at work. But you have to turn it off when speaking with a layman or someone new. And it’s important to ensure that you communicate substance, not just string jargon together so you sound smart. 2 Quote Adventurer, Half-Dwarf Chaotic-Good Paladin Ne me dites jamais les chances! ¡Nunca me digas las probabilidades!

Sylvaa Posted May 1, 2018 Report Share Posted May 1, 2018 Mission Statement doesn't really bother me, but I don't hear it too much anymore. "Leverage" is my least favorite ever (as in "let's leverage.....") 2 Quote Sylvaa's BattleLog Sylvaa's Tracking Spreadsheet Link to comment

Right now your swim lane is to assemble a SWAT team to synergize and reach out to our buyers for some leverage and get a buy-in for the core competency and core values of our clients because their body of work is on the bleeding edge of this business, but you need to make hay while the sun shines, have all your ducks in a row, think outside the box, and put forth your best practices on this because there are a lot of moving parts, you only have a small window of opportunity, and this deal comes to a hard stop at the end of the month. 2 Quote Who am I? -- My NF Character Current Challenge: WolfDreamer Wakes the White Wolf Past Challenges: Spoiler Winter is Coming, Wolfen Strengthens His Heart, Body, Mind, and Spirit, Wolfen Becomes One of the People, Wolfen Strengthens His Chakras, Wolfen Welcomes Summer and Gets Primal, Soulcon and Spartan, Wolfen Develops Mental Toughness, Wolfen Joins the Wander Society, Soulcon, Spartan, School, and Stranger Things, Wolfen Becomes a Warrior Elite, Wolfen Goes Here and There and Back Again, Wolfen Becomes a Soulcon Warrior Elite, Wolfen Returns to His Roots, Wolfen Wanders in Soul, Spirit, and Body, Wolfen Owns the Day, Wolfen Searches for His Wild Heart, Wolfen Runs for His Life, Wolfen Hits the Trails, Wolfen Becomes an Explorer and Joins the Resistance, Wolfen Goes Back to the Source, Wolfen Begins the Hero's Journey, WolfDreamer Returns to the People, WolfDreamer Pushes Back, WolfDreamer Prioritizes, Burpees, Books, and Brainwork, Burpees, Books, Brainwork, and Bodywork, WolfDreamer Masters the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Continues to Master the Four Elements, WolfDreamer Returns to Sparta, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Continues His Middle Earth Adventure, WolfDreamer and the Fall, WolfDreamer Forges His Own Path, WolfDreamer Has Hope, WolfDreamer Returns to Middle Earth, WolfDreamer Reads Harder, Breathes Harder, and Journals More, WolfDreamer Embraces His Wild Poet, The Mad Poet Becomes Supernatural, WolfDreamer, The Mad Poet, Becomes Superhuman, WolfDreamer Elevates, WolfDreamer Becomes IronBorn “I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.” -- Jack London “I wanted movement and not a calm course of existence.
