Apparently, somebody wants to “reach out to me”. Their e-mail conjures up images of Titanic the movie and people in the water grasping to be saved.
I’ve written before about Management-speak, but I probably should have attributed it to consultants as the primary source of this nonsense.
Thankfully, my correspondent didn’t offer to “socialise a deck”, or invite me to an “onboarding session”. I decided the e-mail wasn’t “in my space”, but it gave me an opportunity to write this blog post!
A colleague of mine used “think outside the box” in a serious email this week.
