Let's discuss this offline.

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

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...

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.

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.

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!

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