New corporate buzzword I absolutely despise - Journey

It’s not a fucking journey. It’s a process.

Stop trying to make boring shit appeal interesting. It’s boring, but that’s a how it is. Changing the label doesn’t make it exciting.

I’d put that on the backburner but to shy away from jargon like that is a paradigm shift.

We could loop in and should probably table it. It is low hanging fruit but still requires a deep dive.

  It might be worth circling back at a later date, to see what stakeholder uptake is like. Don’t forget it’s important to view these things through an organisational lens to ensure maximum buy-in.

  You deserve a kick to the throat for that.
  
  With all due respect of course.

A manager might say your statement is reason to enter a conversation.
Conversation, my aching foot! That's corporate speak for performance management.

Wellbeing and mindfulness riles me up when it gets mentioned at work because it generally isn’t thought of and cared for and often at odds with people’s actions no matter how much they scream they’re looking out for people.

  Add holistic to that as well.
  
  As much I hate those words and phrases, I hate the wankers that lap it up.
  
  Grrrrr

  I am grateful I can practise heartfulness.
  It's really important for me to engage with others at an emotional level. Too much mind interferes with the flow of feelings, so I try not to think while I'm at work.
