"Iterative loop of improvement"

[Richardo]

This drivel just came pouring out of my mouth in an involuntary spasm of corporatespeak. I'm consumed in self-loathing. x(

Warning: This is what can happen if you spend a few decades in the business world.

Mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa. :cry:

1. LOL

I had to check out this thread because it sounded from the title like there had been some mathematical breakthrough in quantum mechanics or something.

2. Sympathies

I just went on a job interview (probably didn't get the job - I saw the 'thanks for playing' look in the interviewer's face) and I was spouting the damnedest drivel - functionalities, process and the like. I was amazed my mouth could form these words. I'm gonna have to home and read William Burroughs until I feel clean.
The thing about corporate speak is is sounds pretty much the same back-wards as forward doesn't it. Improvement of loop iterative sounds about the same yes?

Hang in there - it's always darkest before it goes pitch black. :grouphug:

3. Thanks for your sunny outlook, Bob3

:)

Good luck with the interviewing - I know from experience how rough that can be :grouphug:

[Bob3]

6. thanks

It has been rough. I've been looking since January and I begin to fear that I am going to be temping and doing interviews for the rest of my life. Not a prospect that fills one with good feelings and optimism.

If it wasn't for my cynical nihilism, I wouldn't believe in anything.

:evilgrin:

16. my favorite line from that film

"fortunately I've been keeping my brain limber by doing drugs."


It is impossible for an optimist to be pleasantly surprised.

4. Paging Dilbert......

"Iterative loop of improvement" sounds like something from an employee evaluation form.
Cheer up. After several decades in the business world I lost the ability to write in the active voice. Mistakes were made. The protocol was executed. Et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.

12. I *STILL* love that one..,.

Best dilbert ever. :rofl:

13. No, the best Dilbert ever is the mass exodus doorway jam

Which I have pinned up at work. :)

5. So long as you didn't have to utilise synergies to leverage market share

I'll let you off. :)

9. I bet it will catch on and become the New Buzz Phrase

And I will remember I heard it here first.

[MrScorpio]

10. What the fuck does that mean?

Just jump out of a window.

You're lost.

11. I'm hip, my brother

My lovely brain: so witty and full of life in college, now a dried out husk of a shadow of its former self. :cry:

14. Abandon all hope ye who utter corporate drivel!

I've actually heard that phrase before, but thankfully I've never uttered it.
