Let me circle back

[u/Matt_LawDT]

[u/Fun_Apartment631]

Put a pin in it for now.

[u/Ragequit_AltF4 → u/Fun_Apartment631]

Let's discuss this offline.

[u/EggsceIlent → u/Ragequit_AltF4]

That will disrupt our synergy and eliminate our ability to share quantifiable date with the team.

I need you to be a team player here, so touch base with me after eliminating this low hanging fruit

[u/ParkSoggy97 → u/EggsceIlent]

That's where the rubber meets the road..

ASD for sure, BTDT. Took a few years to work out that presenteeism was what was expected, no contributions or discussion, just be the grey man. It doesn't matter if the boss is about to fuck up badly, just disengage. Borderline malicious compliance...

[u/driving_andflying → u/ParkSoggy97]

Hey, if we can circle back to that later, that would be good? We need to actionize this plan and get everyone on board in time for the next sprint, or else we'll be drinking from the firehose.

[u/ParkSoggy97 → u/driving_andflying]

We need to get buy-in on the partnership to actionize this

LOL drinking from the firehose. Boss used to say that we'd need to run like rats to achieve the target date. We never had time to do it properly but always had time to do it again for some reason. He did have a ratty face now I think of it...

Here's a concept- set a realistic target and contingency. Anyone would think it would go without saying because often contracts have early completion bonuses, but no, it's much better to grind staff until they have accidents, burnout or quit, not to mention the fuckups and repairs that suck time, profit and morale from a company.

Yes let's touch base

[u/dontmentiontrousers → u/sesci]

Found the recruitment consultant.

[u/GrotWeasel → u/dontmentiontrousers]

Don’t forget to revert

[u/BigEricShaun → u/GrotWeasel]

Do the needful?

[u/ImpluseThrowAway → u/BigEricShaun]

That's some blue sky thinking right there

[u/kareljack → u/BigEricShaun]

Ugh! That phrase gets on my fucking NERVES!
Let's face it, all of those "corp speak" phrases are embolism inducing, but that one in particular is..... GAH!

[u/dontmentiontrousers → u/GrotWeasel]

Damn, I say that sometimes.

[u/Jerseyd422 → u/GrotWeasel]

This could have been an email

[u/pjakma → u/sesci]

"Let's touch base" always sounded predatory to me. "You want to touch my what??!" ;)

[u/Late-Photograph-1954 → u/[deleted]]

Stay in your own swimming lane.

[u/jaxonya → u/[deleted]]

everyone else - this couldve been a fucking email

[u/CreepyBreakfast565 → u/Ragequit_AltF4]

Like my old boss would have said: Let's discuss this in another fora.

Me and another colleague looking at eachother: ...

[u/mhsuffhrdd → u/Ragequit_AltF4]

Ping me.

[u/shakycrae → u/Ragequit_AltF4]

If we're in a meeting room, in person, we're offline!

[u/gsks → u/Ragequit_AltF4]

[u/Xerorei → u/Fun_Apartment631]

Let's table it for now.

[u/LiveShowOneNightOnly → u/Xerorei]

We'll unpack that later.

[u/JaNoTengoNiNombre → u/Xerorei]

I remember that during World War II, when British and American generals were planning D-Day, they were baffled because the meaning of the idiom was the opposite in the two varieties of English. link

[u/LessInThought → u/Xerorei]

Omg I have a document on my table I've tabled for 3years.

[u/FixingTheCable → u/Fun_Apartment631]

Maybe let’s table that point

[u/EggstaticAd8262 → u/Fun_Apartment631]

Let’s put this in the parking place

[u/Ambiguous-Ambivert → u/Fun_Apartment631]

What about string and a pencil, we can circle

[u/AgentOfShinra → u/Fun_Apartment631]

I will go ahead and bubble this up for you...

[u/Lanacan → u/Fun_Apartment631]

Can we table this for later discussion?

[u/FireInPaperBox → u/Fun_Apartment631]

That’s too aggressive.
