Work sayings
August 30th, 2004
I was at work today when, in the midst of debugging a microcontroller, I thought about those over-used sayings in corporate America. I think that every large company has them — hackneyed phrases long since worn out yet still repeated by seemingly everybody.
At my company, the current favorite seems to be, “When the rubber meets the road.”
Does your company have any such banal quips? What are they?
“It’s been decided”
my favorite from over summer was: “if you’re not making any mistakes, you must not be working”. that’s right, the people who build your houses and workplaces are saying that right now. scary, eh?
Good, good, but there must be more! I mean, I’ve talked to some of you about this very subject in the past!
“Touch-base.”
You know what I mean.
