Phrases that annoy you at work. - Dum-Dum - 13-01-2014
So today I got really annoyed with being talked at and death-by-powerpoint and realised the amount of terms that annoy me at work. So does your work have any?
The big 2 for me are:
"In theory it's a good idea" = Its gonna fail miserably and we know it.
"Training Day" = We are going to waste 8 hours of your life telling you things you already know or could probably guess while seeing if its actually possibly to bore you to death.

"Im an engineer" we keep hearing that at work. Im a mechanic in a bike shop and customers always think theyre right, still have to bring it to us for the simplest thing though.
