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.

I nominate ‘touch base’

[–] Alamutjones@aussie.zone 6 points 1 month 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 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago

As it should.

[–] Thornburywitch@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago

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

[–] TinyBreak@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 1 month ago

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

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago

Can I say artifact if I talk about archaeology?

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

[–] Force_majeure123@aussie.zone 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Granular!
(I'd love a mandarin please)

🍊🍊🍊here’s some low hanging fruit!

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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

[–] Seagoon_@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

[–] Taleya@aussie.zone 2 points 1 month ago
