From the BC&G engineering BU

Our crack team of engineers came to us recently and said that they finally "developed after years of R&D" a new product line for BC&G. Lets be clear here that "developed after years of R&D" actualy means discovered by accident!!

BC&G - Word or phrase of the week. Brought to you by Dictionary of Corporate BS

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.

BC&G - Definition brought to you by The Dictionary of Corporate BS

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.
