Corporate speak is about efficiency and removing emotional content. Brilliant and hilarious emotional truths revealed here…

[Chris Bakke @ChrisJBakke]

Navigating "corporate speak" isn't easy.

Here's a helpful guide I put together:

"Let me check with my team" = No

"Possibly" = No

"On my roadmap" = Not happening

"This will be done in Q4" = This will be done in Q2 next year

"Disagree and commit" = I hate you

"Per my last email" = Try reading, for once in your life

"Challenging landscape" = We're going out of business, quickly

"Digital transformation" = We're going out of business, slowly

"Let's circle back" = We'll never speak of this again

"Take it offline" = We'll never speak of this again

"30,000 foot view" = I don't know what I'm saying

"Low hanging fruit" = Easy promotion

"Open up the kimono" = HR violation

"We use AI" = We don't use AI

"We use machine learning" = We don't use machine learning

"All hands on deck" = Let's actually try for once, please
