(1). A time at which a participant in a conference call or meeting needs to leave, usually due to dinner reservations or a tee time.
“We’ve got a hard stop at 11, team, it’s Bagel Friday!”
Hard Stop
RANDOM LINGO
Off The Reservation
(1). To have drifted (maybe significantly) from what your colleagues may consider “normal behavior”.
“Yeah, so I think Patty may have gone off the reservation a bit on this one. She’s been telling everyone we can get it done in two weeks. Since I’m not exactly sure we can get it done at all, I’m a little concerned about her timeline.”
Understand the Ask
(1). The same as saying “Let’s make sure we’re on the same page” but way cheesier.
“Can you explain that again to make sure I understand the ask?” Ugggghh.
Props to Amy J. for the submission!
