A lot of people do that where I work - I just put it down to them being Republicans

I would offer her the job on the spot - just the right sort of attitude for a cheery office environment!

She should be hired. Just the type of banter you need for the office.

An inauspicious start to life back in the UK ...
Bank system made me re-register for some new privileges but wouldn’t let me keep my username (i.e. my name). So I chose ‘wankers’ in a fit of pique. Then I discovered I couldn’t change it. Then CFO wondered why he had a report saying “$2m transfer approved by wankers”. Ooops.

Sorry for the delay. He's not been seen this week, the rumour is someone's "had a word" and he's gone off in a huff to Work From Home for the foreseeable.
As for the tune, it varies. "Desperado" by the Eagles was an interesting one, although Zippie-di-doo-dah gets an outing at least once an hour and doing my nut right now.

A lot of my American colleagues (and some British ex pats I may add) have a very annoying habit of saying "I'm just going to jump on a call" or "can you jump on a call with..." when what they mean is they're going to make a phone call or join an existing telephone conversation. It really gets on my threepenny bits and I hope it hasn't crossed the Atlantic yet - or is it too late?

There was me thinking the Brits had a touch more class
Yes, yes it is sadly. Along with 'jump on a plane' whenever anything goes tits up overseas.

Sounds sexy
A boring VC during which absolutely nothing will be done or decided then. Hothouses are simply platforms for pontificating bellends who like the sound of their own voiceI have just been invited to a 'Remotely held Hothouse'.

If you are a gardener, I would think it would be quite useful and informative. If not, get [MENTION=2019]jevs[/MENTION] [MENTION=259]Jack Straw[/MENTION] or [MENTION=11350]LamieRobertson[/MENTION] to go in your place
A new one on me but it was discussed on The James & Robins podcast.
Pre meeting meetings?
Everyone invited to the meeting gets together beforehand to talk through the meeting, in order to make the meeting quicker!

I've had an email invite today for a 'drains up' meeting tomorrow. More management babble to justify the salary.
Or the worst team building event in history

A phrase I'd not heard of before, but on Googling found it in an Independent article from over 25 years ago!
