Any software developer watching this probably thought "I'm Anderson and this is my daily scrum with business analysts, management, and 'the business'". After this meeting Anderson either starts contemplating suicide or updates his resume.
Nah, don't let them get you down. Just stay focused on your personal goals, always invest in yourself and enjoy life. Sometimes you may have to move around though, usually results in a raise.
Best advice ever. After focusing on moving up the corporate ladder in my 20's and some of my 30's, I found out quickly the goal for me was getting off the corporate ladder, not moving up it. With some luck, hard work, and moving around like you said, I retired a couple of years ago and can only chuckle at these videos.
We actually just had some jargon sent out. "ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) is integral to our DNA at _____. We are creating a council not because we must, but because we want to." Basically, they said they created a council for people to do their jobs. For example, the guy that is head of compliance/governance is our Chief Compliance Officer. Sitting in a meeting now...we always have "safety moments" which is a ridiculous thing in an office to me. We're going over "elevator safety tips" right now, where we should watch our step going in/out, watch out for the door, hold on to family/pets. Basically we wasted 5 minutes on this.
I'm about to go to an optimization meeting and thought of this thread. Here's the agenda: • Introductions • Project Scope • Overview of Process • Database Development • Component Visualizations • Integrated Visualizations • Recommended Next Steps • Questions and Discussion

why don't we take this discussion offline? contacting you to just close the loop. we really shouldn't be working in silos.
Architecture and construction like every other technical field is loaded with jargon. Stuff like knowing what “CPM” (Critical Project Management) is per of our licensing exams. My favorite and one I use quite often is “CYA”. As in we need to get “CYA text into this contract.” For those who don’t know that’s “Cover Your Ass”
"F you you F-ing f*****.""? I mean, I've never personally used it, but I hear that it works well in the business world when dealing with collections or millenials. Or both. Apparently.
"Lets have a Breakout Session to work through the discovery worksheet" (I **** you not, I said this yesterday because corporate BS dialect) This is what I was thinking the whole time:
I thought about this the other day. After working in hospitals for so long, transitioning from that world to being a consultant and learning the jargon was eye opening. It's funny to read the comments here because it's part of my everyday talk with clients. Kinda depressing now that I think about it.
