Office Speak

Employment attorney John Phillips, who has encountered a paradigm or two in his day, with a Memo from The Man:

Delightful. At least it's empty of content.

I once had a boss fond of peppering comments with "Not to be rude..." followed by criticisms and disagreements that sometimes crossed the "rudeness" line into malicious, even defamatory. But always passive, you know, so not to sound rude.

Thanks! I was actually googling seriously to find some new baffling office speak. It's hard to keep up when you work from home, and I am at a loss for bu****it when I have to join colleagues.
