    Who were the players involved in the rebrand? Was a RACI performed as part of the process?

    Oh man, I imagine that your developers are going to be way less productive when they’re forced to use insightful methods instead.

    We have a new CEO who started two months ago. He was formerly a VP of a management consulting firm. He has no backgorund in our industry. Hence we have a 90 person team building event on Wednesday where we have cards with "Integrity" Agilie" "Insightful" "Connected" and we have to label different aspects of how we do business.

    When I go to you asking “Hey, what’s your calendar look like for this project in early Dec?” it doesn’t mean “Please call our customer and ask if they would like it done in early Dec.”

    So the guy who said that...our team has been keeping a secret list of "-isms" he says. Trying to get our creative team to design a poster with all of his quotes

    Just yesterday in the same meeting we got hit with "you want to buzz the tower on that"... "we're going to feel a little bit of chop"...and "we may need to pull the ripcord"

    Even ignoring that saving the vacation liability being the reason 99% of companies do this, unlimited PTO is the stupidest shit. If I can’t take the next five years off then there’s a limit in there somewhere.

    The place I work just switched to this but called it something like “flexible time off” trying to sell it as we have more freedom to take days off (we pretty much did before) to distract from the fact the 50+ hours I had saved up are now just gone. Technically I don’t need to “use” PTO anymore but that would have been paid out whenever my time at the company was done, now it won’t.

    The “long story short” or “in a nutshell” has been getting a lot of traction in my meetings...

    And the “does that make sense” is also being used quite frequently for “this isn’t fucking hard, figure it out”

    I can’t count then number of times I’ve started a sentence “So, basically, what’s happening is...” and followed it with “Does that make sense?”

    Most people have no idea how technology works. They can just see that something isn’t what they wanted to see. They’re logically and technically stupid. So, basically, my job is to know how all of the parts and pieces work together on the back end to get to a certain outcome. Does that make sense?

    Worst case scenario is you listen to someone expound on shit you don’t care about. Keep it simple.
