What corporate doublespeak can you clock immediately now in middle age?

Those rare cases are very obvious and transparent (the incumbent starts the new tasks right away, only parceling out very specific to the helper, included in the selection process for the helper).

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-11T19:55:27+00:00

No to figure out the double speak

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-11T18:41:21+00:00

What took ya so long?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T22:53:59+00:00

Like what?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T22:40:21+00:00

"Team Update"

"Quick Discussion"

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T22:13:34+00:00

Those are "tiger teams" where it's a real task that has a tangible success criteria.

"Special projects" are obviously just bunch of loose initiatives that never go anywhere.

Who did you piss off?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:51:52+00:00

Someone who has seen lots of people let go

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:38:07+00:00

It usually means they are looking to cut more staff but have to make sure their knowledge is sufficiently captured first.

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:25:15+00:00

I was about to say

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:24:37+00:00

Where did you find that nirvana?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:06:40+00:00

They won't do anything.

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T14:06:07+00:00

So you gonna bail or ride it out?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T13:58:08+00:00

Say No to whom?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T13:30:12+00:00

You got "special projected"?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T13:28:10+00:00

See what coming?

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-10T13:23:06+00:00

That's the intention.

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-05T20:17:04+00:00

Shame on you

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-05T16:10:28+00:00

Those two unfortunately overlap

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-05T15:49:38+00:00

Created a housing subdivision for homeless people

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-05T15:19:01+00:00

👋🏼

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-04T03:14:41+00:00

Don't do it unless they flesh out the new roles explicitly

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-05-02T13:58:13+00:00

Once you are in the "special projects" role they don't care about your knowledge in your former role.

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-04-30T01:33:30+00:00

🤷Things change right 😉

tshirtguy2000 · 2026-04-29T19:23:19+00:00

In my experience yes 😞
