Crap 'Buzzwords'

Out of curiosity, what does Offboarding mean in your context?

In mine at a high level it means removing some of, or all, a client's (or similar party's) products and underlying accounts. I guess you could use remove or leave?

The process of someone leaving the company, exit interviews, holiday pay due etc. Onboarding is the process of someone joining the company.
Wanky isn't it?

I guess.

But it's still a covers a specific bundle of other terms that leaving doesn't really convey.

I mean if people are saying they offboarded their keys at home by accident, then that is a bit much.

Onboarding, from to bring onboard sort of works. Off boarding doesn’t.
Plankwalking?

Are you thinking of gangplanking?

Bollocks, is it already a crap buzzword

I might start using enplane and deplane.

I once heard a hiring process described as the new employees' "runway landing" so perhaps you're not far off.

We use “in the departure lounge”

Headwinds

We're trying to recruit teachers, not win the Americas Fucking Cup, you set of twats.

First heard our CEO use that word 7 or 8 years ago. A way of telling the stock market that we are doing shit and profit is down.

Everything seems to be table stakes these days.

Foreshadow. Fore. Shadow.

prompt engineering

A ridiculously overblown term to describe writing a kind of imprecise search query.

'Weaponising'. Every dick and his dog is using it.

I work at a large place. Occasionally internal interviews are released on the intranet with some senior bod or other giving their thoughts on some vague subject.

They’re called fireside chats.

There’s no fire.

Unfortunately they're not so entertaining.

They do this where I work, and place an iPad showing a video of a fire between the participants.

I don’t know if that is worse or not.

I think it is.

There should be a fireside chat thread. I might start one.

I think it is.

Thankfully they stopped doing it after a couple. I think the feedback was bad.

Fucking hell, I thought our place was bad.

UK company with predominantly US execs so we quite often have these culture clashes.

When I lived in Germany, the tram system had automated announcements in German, followed by English. At the end of the line, or under some unexpected circumstances, passengers would be instructed to "please leave board" which I found not only obviously incorrect but also somehow painful. How hard is 'disembark'? Maybe they thought Americans wouldn't understand it.
