"It's a Process"

[RattlerDeac]

Anyone else tired of this "buzz phrase?"

I'm trying to wean myself off of using it, but it's a sequence of interdependent and linked procedures which, at every stage, consume one or more resources (time, energy, machines, money) to convert inputs (data, material, parts, etc.) into outputs. These outputs then serve as inputs for the next stage until a known goal or end result is reached.

I have to use it a lot with patients who expect to get better and get all their strength and flexibility back immediately. But I try to find a different way to say it most days.

I'm getting tired of it. It's a process.

 

[DeaconCav06]

Eh. It is what it is.

...I feel like in a few cases, this is an unavoidable phrase.
In related news, I'm tired of hearing "In these tough budget times/in these tough economic times..." yes, we all know governments are broke. calling it "tough budget times" just sounds silly.

 

[deacdiggler]

on a going forward basis, i'm not using it anymore.

In these tough economic times, "it's a process" creates synergies that help us outkick our coverage.

I tried to get rid of it, but it really messed up my workflow.

I watched Office Space last night.

I bet if they made that movie today, it would feature a lot of this corporate lexicon.

At the end of the day, we need to adjust to the new normal.

Bill Gross takes credit for that one.

Has anyone heard "triple bottom line" yet? That was new for me last week. Dude used it like five times in a minute.

Are we just kicking the can down the road here?

I got "I'll have to send that up the totem pole" like 15 times in a 5 minute conversation with a rep from a fund manager the other day. I was thinking, "maybe I should just talk to your boss."

Here it's "send that up the flagpole and see who salutes" which just seems extraordinarily dorky.

Consider who your employer is...:thumbsup:

Are you sure that's not sexual harassment?
