Management Speak

[StagnJag]

Don't you just love management speak, the guy sitting opposite me has just said:

"We are all in our swim lanes, paddling our own canoes!" :?

I have no idea what that means at all! :P

Has he just got back from a PGL holiday or something!

My old bosses favourite saying was "you have the cards we have been dealt it is up to you what you do with them!"

or "turnover is for vanity profit is for sanity" this justified him upping the prices by 35% and cutting the discounts by 40%! net result £1.2Million lost sales:shock:

All our fault so we all left so he paddle his own canoe!

oh, his other one is "the office staff are very busy, you lot (engineers on the road) do one job a day"!

He's a nice fella actually, he was grinning when he said it, so it was a bit tongue in cheek, but still!

The favourite management phrase at my work is "The beatings will continue until morale improves"
