Off-line–“Why don’t we take this issue off-line” Manage expectations–“We need to better manage expectations”

This is from econstats.com partnering with? just say cooperating solution? just say program price point? just say price form factor? just say form utilize? just say use disconnect as noun? just say disconnection or break facility? just say building (unless you mean an ability)
i hate it when someone uses that talk with me in excess cause i know they are bull$hitting me heavily, but on the other hand i gotta use some of it when i bull$hit clients. it’s all about moderation and target audience
How about buzz words such as actionable-how about doable are realistic? synergistic-how about complimentary-well that is bad but less bad
I hate “Good deal”.
“As it relates to…” “Per your previous email…”

Why don’t they just say “Please create a password you are guaranteed to forget next time you need to log in.” “No, I’m sorry, you are too likely to remember that. Please try again.”
Seriously… Network/email, VPN, SQL logins, client network IDs, webex, salesforce, performance review system, tech support, 6 credit card accounts, 1 bank account, amazon, ebay, paypal, facebook, youtube, 10 random other websites, 4 email addresses, ssn#, phone numbers, birth date, mother’s maiden name, favorite sport, color of your first car, town you went to high school in… If I get hit on the head one day and forget any of this stuff my life is over

Yeah I use it too but when my boss sends it to me half the time he wants me to be aware of what he’s up to and the other half he wants me to do the work… am I supposed to be inspired as to his general thoughts on a daily basis - NO!
“Please advise” lol i hated this one. Typically from an indian IT dude.
“quid pro quo…” from a Partner
Thanks much
“If I had my druthers”…my boss says this all the time…hate it.
I’ve always wanted to know what a “druther” is. Then I could go get some and keep my boss happy. “Need druthers? Oh, I have a bunch stashed here in my desk!”
apparently druthers is short for “would rathers”. In other words, if I had my would rathers is shortened to if I had my druthers.
please align with xxxx
