Take A Step Back
RANDOM LINGO
Summer Fridays
(1). A period of time between Memorial Day and Labor Day in which a company (usually a small business) closes around 3 p.m. on Fridays so the bosses can go golfing.
“Okay, team. Now that we’re into Summer Fridays, I want everyone to stay until at least 7, Monday through Thursday, so we don’t lose the billable hours. Oh, and FYI, I’ll be out for the next couple of weeks with limited access to voicemail and email.”
Level Set
(1). This can go hand-in-hand with “understand the ask“. Let’s level-set meaning, make sure everyone is on the same page and understands.
“Let’s level set to ensure I understand the ask”. Ugggghh.
Props to Amy J. for the submission!
