Hard Stop
RANDOM LINGO
Post-Implementation Review Process
(1). A really, really complicated way to say slamming the barn door after the horse is gone.
“Alright, now that we’ve converted to the new accounting system, we need to go through our post-implementation review process to make sure it’s going to work. Somehow, I feel we should have asked more questions up front…oh well, too late now!”
Props to A3 for the submission.
Throw Under The Bus
(1). To blame something completely on a colleague that you probably had as much to do with as he did.
“Paul totally threw me under the bus on that call this morning! He was the one who forgot to order more K-Cups, not me! And what the hell are we having a call about K-Cups for anyway!”
