BC&G - Definition of the week, brought to you by Dictionary of Corporate BS

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.

BC&G Tip for Friday

BC&G Topic of the day brought to you by Dictionary of Corporate BS

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 Hit by economy

Due to the economic climate we are going to cancel work on Friday's. You will still be paid but are requested to stay home and do nothing all day. We have found that we save money by not having the lights, computers, printers, refreshment service machines and just about everything else powered on!
