Industry Terms You Can't Stand

Heard this on the radio yesterday: “Buy on the mystery, sell on the history.”

Does this mean that your resume is filled with the platitudes that Tracksuit Investor is referring to?

absolutely

I appreciate your candor.

One that really annoys me is “C-Suite”

Agree, I don’t know why people just can’t say “executive leadership” or something. C-Suite sounds like something uttered by someone who has no chance of ever sitting in the C-Suite.

^ nailed it

My company now has a “Strategic Relationship team” whose main responsibilities seem to be to annoy all the people who actually have relationships with clients, host excruciating conference calls where every man and his dog is invited for no apparent reason, and continually utter the phrase “we need to get this client in front of the C Suite.”

Perhaps y’all misunderstand.

It’s “cease wheat”.

They’re pandering to people allergic to gluten.

That gave me a giggle :slightly_smiling_face:

On a totally unrelated note, have you tried Bowmore yet?

I have, just a couple of months ago.

I was impressed.

^ good stuff. Was it the 12? I’m a big fan of the 15. I prefer it to the 18 but a good friend of mine assures me that the 18 opens up a lot in the glass so maybe I just haven’t dwelled on the dram long enough.

Fifteen.

Also a big fan.

“Run rate”

“pencils down”

“We’re still early days on this…”

dont put all your eggs in 1 basket!

I heard an absolute peach the other day. Some douchey credit guy piped up in a meeting with:

“The mood music coming from the conference was that the industry is…”

That’s great, thanks for the color.

Remember when people were calling everything “sexy” for a couple years? I think it was 2014-2015.
