(1). That underselling new competitor that’s going to run your little mom-and-pop operation right out of business.
“Let’s be a disruptor in the sector, that’s where we want to be.”
Props to R. James for the submission.
Disruptor
RANDOM LINGO
Up-Charge
(1). To bill separately for additional services that some competitors may provide free of charge. These fees are generally intended to cover the costs of unnecessary business units (see nice-to-have) whose services can easily be removed from the firm’s offering in a down year and are often waived anyway.
“Everybody, we’re going to start up-charging our clients a technology fee. If anyone asks, just tell them we needed to invest in new technology to make sure their campaign ran at an optimal level. Gold mine.”
Go Postal
(1). A spectacular event in which an employee completely loses his or her marbles and goes all Michael Douglas on the office.
(2). A far less exciting event involving an embarrassingly loud rant about something or other by a disgruntled employee in the breakroom.
“It was crazy. One minute, Judy and I were talking about last night’s Survivor tribal council and the next minute – blagh! – she goes all postal about something Nick said to her about timesheets or whatever. Like that’s what I need at 9 a.m.!”
