I swear to god if I hear the word "granular" at work today I'm going to lob a mandarin at the person who says it.

Just say "detailed". What's wrong with "detailed"?!?!

Ah corporate life. I've missed you lol

Edit: I'm adding the word "artifact" to the list.

[-] Catfish@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

I nominate ‘touch base’

[-] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 points 2 weeks ago

Your artifacts are not granular enough. Lift your game

How on earth did they get ‘granular’ to mean ‘detailed’?! I’m still annoyed at ‘low hanging fruit’, ‘going forward’, and ‘the (insert topic here) space/lens’. Bloody weasel words

[-] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 7 points 2 weeks ago

I haven't heard space/lens yet. It won't be long I'm sure.

Every time someone says artifact my mind goes straight to Indiana Jones lol

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

As it should.

[-] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

too much detail 'granular' is actually quite a good metaphor, just horribly overused.

[-] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Damn gibsy, you're starting to sound like a bit of an artifact!

[-] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Granular!
(I'd love a mandarin please)

🍊🍊🍊here’s some low hanging fruit!

[-] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Mine is people sulking. I'm so over it. Projects gotta be done. Leadership have said "deliver" so STFU and help or get out of the damn way.

[-] Gibsonhasafluffybutt@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago

Agreed. I can't fucking stand it. We're not children. If you're annoyed, say something.

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago

Can I say artifact if I talk about archaeology?

Also, may I add to the list journey, navigate and gifted.

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

start replying to peoples emails spelling it artefact and track how fast the flock adopts it

[-] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago

you made me look twice and check if I have been spelling it wrong

[-] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago
