Can’t Get Out of the Classroom
RANDOM LINGO
Soft Block
(1). Something you build into the system to warn those morons in the business that they are about to bring down the company by punching the wrong keys.
“Oh, don’t worry about that … we’ve put a soft block with a dialogue box before letting you change those kinds of account parameters. Because, you know, everyone reads pop-up dialogue boxes.”
Huddle Meeting
(1). Yet another term for a team meeting, named as such to make it sound more cuddly and team building. Really just another opportunity to throw stats and numbers at you.
“Hey guys, so we’ve got our huddle meeting in a few minutes, but wanted to give you all a preview of what we’ll be discussing. Basically, we want revenue to go up and expenses to go down. Hope that’ll help you frame your questions.”
Props to Michael for the submission.
