Unpack This For Me
RANDOM LINGO
Town Hall Meeting
(1). A full staff meeting where employees are supposed to be able to pose questions to upper management. They can’t. All questions are plants. Just keep quiet and you won’t get fired.
“Thank you, everyone, for dialing in today. This town hall meeting is an important forum for all of us to talk openly and honestly about the business. All questions should be directed to that burning oildrum behind the building. Now, our first agenda item is ‘cost reductions’…”
Appetite
(1). The inclination of management to support a certain project, usually involving the allocation of firm resources (a.k.a. money).
“Look, guys. There just isn’t an appetite right now for a new company car. I’m sorry, Shaggy, but you’ll just have to make do with the current Mystery Machine for now.”
Props to Paul A. for the submission.
