BC&G "Sensitivity Training"
Questions asked by BC&G employees at our annual sensitivity training:
1. Why do the chicks that work here have like 12 kinds of tea and we get 1 kind of coffee?
2. Can I file a complaint if a co-worker scratches his junk in front of me?
3. If someones face offends me do they have to wear a paper bag?
4. What time is appropriate to start drinking at work?
5. "hypothetically" speaking if I wanted to find a quiet office that no one ever looks in where would that be?
6. Sensitivity WTF!

Gossip
Information of a scandalous nature, with questionable sources and veracity, that everyone takes as the 100 percent truth; a major currency of the workplace and a great way to pass the time. Common topics include office romances and affairs, skeletons in execs’ closets, behavior that required the legal department’s involvement, and material that smacks of urban myth.

difficult people -
Class A jerks of the workplace, often found in the ranks of senior management, whose behavior commonly includes temper tantrums, bullying, yelling, lying, being unnecessarily combative or uncooperative, backstabbing, undermining, manipulating, or just being plain batshit crazy. Their prevalence has led many companies to offer workshops on “Dealing with Difficult People,” which aim to instruct employees on how to make day-to-day existence bearable through tactics that circumvent abusive personalities.

BC&G Dictionary
Brought to you by - Dictionary of Corporate BS
quit
To leave, often abruptly. Simply thinking about quitting is the source of countless fantasies that are frequently intense, extremely detailed, often dramatic, and sometimes violent. Variations include: the calm, cool, and collected walkout in midday, never to return; calling a boss’s bluff, getting up, and leaving in the middle of some “constructive” feedback; and the balls-to-the-wall, take-no-prisoners explosion during which the employee tells (read: yells) the boss off. The act may, in fact, even include the declaration “I QUIT!” 2. An action that health benefits keep in check, in most cases.

BC&G Definition of the week - brought to you by Corporate BS Dictionary
office politics
The foundation of all business decisions—from who sits next to the boss at the weekly staff meeting to who makes more money, who gets a meeting, who gets promoted, and who gets the best office (especially who gets the best office). Having the ability to befriend and gain the trust of those one will one day betray (or the ability to know who can be screwed over with minimal repercussions) is a key component of mastering office politics. It is the reason why those who kiss ass, play golf, and laugh a lot do so well in corporate America.

Expressing negative feelings through nondirect and unassertive behavior. A virtual epidemic in the workplace. For example, asking a fellow employee, “Does my Outlook not connect to your Outlook? Should I call the help desk to sort this out?” when one is just pointing out that the coworker didn’t respond to an e-mail.

paradigm
The way things are done because they’ve been done this way forever. A term used to mystify and intimidate colleagues, customers, and clients who are ideally short-circuited by the use of such a fancy word, especially one that contains a silent “g.” It is far too sophisticated and intellectual a word to be bandied about, especially because the majority of people who use it have no idea what it means.

outgrow one’s position -
To expand in skill and experience beyond one’s current job, which a person is informed of after delivering above and beyond, attending management training sessions, pushing the envelope, and being a superstar. Unfortunately, the reward is knowledge that there’s no room for growth, nor is there money in the budget to accommodate the person’s excellence.

BC&G Term of the day -- brought to you by The Dictionary of Corporate BS
go-getter
An irritating, obnoxious individual who engages in kissing ass and routinely attempts to steal all of his or her co-workers remotely interesting work. Typically, the newest hires, whose enthusiasm has yet to be crushed by the boss or the department's work environment, assume this role. Eventually, they catch on to the fact that they're doing everybody else's work and have nothing to show for it.

BC&G Your week at a glance
Because knowing what's likely to happen on which day of the week can help you save time, energy, and money. A panel of statisticians from the National Council of Actuarial Analysis pored over tons of data and determined that some days really are better than others. Here's what they found:
Sunday - is the busiest morning in malls. It's also the day most people suffer stress related headaches. Why? Experts say it's from worrying about the week to come. According to more than 60% of survey respondents, Sunday dinner is the week's most stressful meal to prepare.
Monday - If you get the Monday morning blues, you're not alone. Heart attacks are more likely on this day, and it's the most common day for people to call in sick.
Tuesday - This is the most productive day of the work week, but the least popular day for romance. It's the busiest day of the Internet, because Microsoft issues its security updates on Tuesdays, but the least busy day on the highways, with the fewest number of traffic fatalities.
Wednesday - This is the best day to recruit new workers. Employment agencies report being 50% busier on the middle day of the week. And it's the best day to try out a new romantic partner, with most people picking it as the preferred evening for a first date.
Thursday - Avoid going to the hospital. Doctors are more likely to take Friday off, giving themselves a three-day weekend and leaving you stuck in bed.
Friday - It's the most dangerous day on the roads and the most common day to get fired.
Saturday - For the ancient Romans, this was a grim day, named for Saturn, the dark Titan who tried to eat his own children. But now it's the most popular day for weddings, when apparently 75% of couples tie the knot.
Sunday - is the busiest morning in malls. It's also the day most people suffer stress related headaches. Why? Experts say it's from worrying about the week to come. According to more than 60% of survey respondents, Sunday dinner is the week's most stressful meal to prepare.
Monday - If you get the Monday morning blues, you're not alone. Heart attacks are more likely on this day, and it's the most common day for people to call in sick.
Tuesday - This is the most productive day of the work week, but the least popular day for romance. It's the busiest day of the Internet, because Microsoft issues its security updates on Tuesdays, but the least busy day on the highways, with the fewest number of traffic fatalities.
Wednesday - This is the best day to recruit new workers. Employment agencies report being 50% busier on the middle day of the week. And it's the best day to try out a new romantic partner, with most people picking it as the preferred evening for a first date.
Thursday - Avoid going to the hospital. Doctors are more likely to take Friday off, giving themselves a three-day weekend and leaving you stuck in bed.
Friday - It's the most dangerous day on the roads and the most common day to get fired.
