You don't have to implement all the McDonald's corporate jargon at the one you manage
-
I'd be shocked if that phrase was used anywhere near a brick and mortar McDonald's.

Great show.
-
Insightful.

As in 'Hey TCU MBA guy here's your action item: get me some fucking coffee'?Tequilla said:The corporate phrase "action item"

My boss at Jiffy Lube says action item all the time. Then he farts. And spits tobacco juice on the floor. I work at one of the classy Jiffy Lubes.PostGameOrangeSlices said:You don't have to implement all the McDonald's corporate jargon at the one you manage

I don't mind when it is used every once in a while ... and particularly if it is used in a way of being more of a comedic relief.
What I hate is when seemingly everybody talks about what they have to do is that they have an action item for this and an action item for that like it's super important. We all have fucking work to do. We all have things to get done. I don't need to hear you describe something as a fucking action item to know that you have shit to get done. -
Fascinating! Tell me more. Also be sure to let me know how your fantasy football team is doing.Tequilla said:I don't mind when it is used every once in a while ... and particularly if it is used in a way of being more of a comedic relief.

I'd tell you to go fuck off ... but then again I can sit back and laugh at the fact that you get to put up with Steve Alford as your basketball coach combined with the 10% state income tax rate that those in the beautiful state of California get to watch their local government mismanage.BallSacked said:

If you can't tell from my initial post in this thread that I've already taken the gloves off, then this place may be a little too fast for you.BallSacked said:

Just saying. -
This appears to be on the wrong board

I don't think there is a right board on the Internet for it. Maybe the doogman CEO loungejecornel said:This appears to be on the wrong board

look smarter in a meeting by...
1. Draw a Venn diagram
Getting up and drawing a Venn diagram is a great way to appear smart. It doesn’t matter if your Venn diagram is wildly inaccurate, in fact, the more inaccurate the better. Even before you’ve put that marker down, your colleagues will begin fighting about what exactly the labels should be and how big the circles should be, etc. At this point, you can slink back to your chair and go back to playing Candy Crush on your phone.
-
Translate percentage metrics into fractions
If someone says “About 25% of all users click on this button,” quickly chime in with, “So about 1 in 4,” and make a note of it. Everyone will nod their head in agreement, secretly impressed and envious of your quick math skills. -
Encourage everyone to “take a step back”
There comes a point in most meetings where everyone is chiming in, except you. Opinions and data and milestones are being thrown around and you don’t know your CTA from your OTA. This is a great point to go, “Guys, guys, guys, can we take a step back here?” Everyone will turn their heads toward you, amazed at your ability to silence the fray. Follow it up with a quick, “What problem are we really trying to solve?” and, boom! You’ve bought yourself another hour of looking smart. -
Repeat the last thing the engineer said, but very very slowly
Make a mental note of the engineer in the room. Remember his name. He’ll be quiet throughout most of the meeting, but when his moment comes everything out of his mouth will spring from a place of unknowable brilliance. After he utters these divine words, chime in with, “Let me just repeat that,” and repeat exactly what he just said, but very, very slowly. Now, his brilliance has been transferred to you. People will look back on the meeting and mistakenly attribute the intelligent statement to you. -
Ask the presenter to go back a slide
“Sorry, could you go back a slide?” They’re the seven words no presenter wants to hear. It doesn’t matter where in the presentation you shout this out, it’ll immediately make you look like you’re paying closer attention than everyone else is, because clearly they missed the thing that you’re about to brilliantly point out. Don’t have anything to point out? Just say something like, “I’m not sure what these numbers mean,” and sit back. You’ve bought yourself almost an entire meeting of appearing smart. -
^don't know if this is plagiarismed shit, but every word is truth.

Let's dig down into this
Step it back -
I like to work in the ______ is over whenever I can.

Action item >> ga(y)me changer

Ask "Will this scale?" no matter what it is

Looks like someone was going to assign an action item, however, it couldn't scale because people ... in ... the ... State ... of ... California pay 10 cents of every dollar to the government.
But then, Tequila took some self depreciating humor by actually telling the guy he is insulting to actually do an action item of "have a nice weekend". -
What do those numbers even mean? I mean, what problem are we really trying to solve here?topdawgnc said:
