Working Daze by John Zakour and Scott Roberts for August 12, 2023

Rita is good with double talk.

You can eat waffles without syrup, as long as there is ice cream.

Baffled them with bull.

“Across-the-board” is supposed to be hyphenated.

That just filled my Buzzword Bingo card…

Nice job with the reflections on the table and in the glass behind them

Rita, not only are you waffling, you are making no sense.

She could make a good Vice President…….

Sounds like a politician

This coulda been in an e-mail I could ignore.

I’ve been retired for several years now, I haven’t regretted it for one minute.

Worked for the same company for 42 years. Great management for 40. Had to listen to that kind of stuff for the last two. Helped make the retirement option very desirable.

Divestiture often means franchise & independent contractors to save the big boys taxes.

“Let’s circle back now…”

high falutin’ phrases doesn’t make it valid, just the opposite

Ah the days of buzz-word bingo

Reminds me of the time years ago when I made up and printed “Buzzword Bingo” cards for a Corporate presentation. All who played were sworn to secrecy as to their origin. Good thing too, as a few of them got found by the wrong people! But you know what – the next meeting like this, there was a LOT less of this … stuff.

That statement is why, if you want to rise high in the corporate world, you should get a Masters in English Literature. You learn how to pile it high and to mean whatever the listener wants to hear..

I declare this comic ISO 9000 buzzword compliant.

They all look so tired. All exept Rita, of course. Beautiful reflex.

Referring to the new brochure.

She has to be good at something…anything!

Naturally.

The key word here is ‘divestitures’ – prepare for huge sell-offs of company assets with proportional firings.

What’s the difference between a manager and a politician?

Do you want to hear it again?
