I swear to god if I hear the word "granular" at work today I'm going to lob a mandarin at the person who says it.

Just say "detailed". What's wrong with "detailed"?!?!

Ah corporate life. I've missed you lol

Edit: I'm adding the word "artifact" to the list.

I nominate ‘touch base’

Your artifacts are not granular enough. Lift your game

How on earth did they get ‘granular’ to mean ‘detailed’?! I’m still annoyed at ‘low hanging fruit’, ‘going forward’, and ‘the (insert topic here) space/lens’. Bloody weasel words

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I haven't heard space/lens yet. It won't be long I'm sure.

Every time someone says artifact my mind goes straight to Indiana Jones lol

too much detail 'granular' is actually quite a good metaphor, just horribly overused.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Damn gibsy, you're starting to sound like a bit of an artifact!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Mine is people sulking. I'm so over it. Projects gotta be done. Leadership have said "deliver" so STFU and help or get out of the damn way.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

Agreed. I can't fucking stand it. We're not children. If you're annoyed, say something.

Granular!
(I'd love a mandarin please)

Can I say artifact if I talk about archaeology?

Also, may I add to the list journey, navigate and gifted.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)
