Speaker 1 (00:39):
The twenty eighth.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
You know how much I love some corporate office phrases,
and there's a list this morning. I love that corporate
office phrase. First thing I want to show album.
Speaker 3 (00:53):
This is supposed to be my safe place before the
office opens.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
No, this is your safe place.
Speaker 3 (00:58):
I was gonna says, there's no level place, and not
not even sure if I'm the one who has the
worst attitude anymore about I think I think some other
attitudes I've got a little progressively. Oh yeah, bottom of
the barrel, right yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
What are some of your favorite though, of all the
ones that are used around here, because you are more
exposed to the corporate types than I am.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
Yeah, I mean, of course, always the circle back that
upsets me, especially in an email, because don't circle back.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
I will get to you when I get to you.
Speaker 3 (01:31):
My new like I guess my newest one that upsets
me in meetings is when we'll table that like okay,
let's just talk about it now are and what does
that mean?
Speaker 2 (01:43):
And what are we untabling it? When are we getting
to the table, When are we going to retable it?
When you going back on the table?
Speaker 1 (01:49):
Right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Some to think of other ones, I swear, you know,
our executive team, like the highest level of executives whatever
they are, I don't know what they're called. That when
we have a little like fancy to ops come and
comms ops.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Yeah, and then there's like one beneath that.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
And then if you're it's like it's like a secret
society if you're not if you're if you're beneath it,
and if you're above it, you can access the ones
beneath you, but if you're beneath it. It's like when
you go to the lounge of the airport. If you're
in first class, you can go to any part of
the lounge, but if you just have the credit card,
you can't go to the first class lounge.
Speaker 1 (02:23):
That's how this works with the thing.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
But I swear sometimes they just make them up just
to watch all the little minions repeat what they already
heard on the conference call. You know what I mean,
Because there are some because I mean we're down to
like abbreviating words that are are only two syllables, and
some of the things I like the pros stands well,
the presentation that's two syllables. I know, there's a pressy
we did. We got to include that in the pressI
(02:47):
you can't say, you can't say presentation. I can't say presentations.
Maybe maybe you can't presentation. You can't say it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We'll just throw a oh yeah, the deck call it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That CPO stand for I would asking someone yesterday and
we tried to google it is people officer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh yeah like it?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, Oh okay, that's what that lady was at astronomer.
It's basically who went to CFO. She was the CPO,
the chief people officer.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Okay, because we were saying that and then someone else
was laughing like that sounds made up.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, it's a JHR. That's like a nicer way of
saying that person's gonna fire you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right, I know, not corporate enough for that.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I bring this up because there's a list this morning
of phrases that lazy people use to fool their bosses
into thinking that they're working hard. Oh boy, okay, and
I would love to tell you what they are except
my scream with blank again. Oh no, here it is, okay, No,
it's exciting. Really, you know today in radio Olympics, no
screens to the whole show by feel okay, starting with you. Okay,
(03:51):
So these are phrases that people use it work to
fool their bosses into thinking that they're working hard. But
a lot of these actually sound like well some of
the things that you just said, but some sound like
they could be true. I don't know, number one, I
don't know if these are in order. I've got a
lot on my plate right now. So you say that,
but that is in order to deflect without giving specifics.
(04:12):
But if I'm your boss, I probably know what's on
your plate and I get to choose. I would suppose
it's your boss whether I think it's a lot on
the plate or not a lot on the plate, right,
you fool me?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, you would think, but not all.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Like your plate has been overflow, like you've been eating
off the same You've had so much on your plate,
jac You've been eating on this off the same plate
for like six months.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It is plentiful.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, I'll just be like, bro, I'm crashing out like
you do to leave me alone because I'm crashing out.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Yeah, like I'm having I'm pulling at Brittney and going
to the hospital right now, like that's where I'm at,
and then step away from shaving my head right, And
that's not an excuse to say that I'm lazy, Like
I'm actually going to go it fifty seven to fifty
or fifty one fifty. I'm actually like we're doing that.
I've said that too, just circling back on that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is what you say.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I guess if you're if you're lazy and you don't
really want to do anything, been meaning to get to
that suggest intent without execution.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Been meaning to get.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
To that, right, but I want to know how many
of these you can use consistently before I've been meaning
to get to firing you, you know what I mean,
Like I've been meaning to I remember what I was
gonna do today, terminate you. I'm letting the ideas come
to me. You can say that I'm using these like
(05:26):
maybe I would survive in a corporate environment because I
just be in my office, you know, or my cubicle.
Just Hey, were you gonna.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Get to that today? Fred?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You know, I'm just letting the ideas come to me.
You know what I'm saying. I'm just letting the ideas
come to me right now. So if you actually you're
in the way of my process.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Hey, you're blocking the ideas.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Like if I weren't being pestered by you, then maybe
the idea would have come to me by now. So
if you could see yourself out out, I'm creating space
for what's next. You can say this stuff, Oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Gonna use this.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Does that mean like my next job or like implies
forward thinking but often masks inaction and indecisiveness. You know, Hey, hey, prey,
we need you to do that. You know, I'm creating
space for what's next right now, So if you just
let me honestly putting on now just saying that, I
can't believe that anybody said this is from like a
survey of like actual bosses. I guess I'm letting myself
(06:20):
be Oh. I mean, if you responded to someone asking
you to complete a task like we had to do
some kind of internal like, uh, performance analysis of ourselves,
I thought it was spam. I honestly thought it was,
like because that's another thing that happens around here. I
don't know if every company does this, but our our CTO,
(06:43):
our chief technical officer, will send like stuff out that
looks like it's legitimate, but it's it's ridiculous that it's not.
And then they want to see if you fall to
the trap, because they want to see if you're the
one who's going to expose our network to you know,
hackers or whatever. Like that day that Jason opened the
facts that someone emailed from you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, someone fax faxed me an email or email me, Yeah, fax.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Me, But didn't you fax yourself an email? And you
still open it even though you don't know how to
use the fact. I don't even know where a fact is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh, yes, can I redeem myself real quick for that?
Because eight years later, yes, because there's finally like a
come around. You were letting yourself be. Yes, I was
letting the ideas come to me. But the other day
I got an email that I thought was a little phishy, right,
So I sent it to our CTO and they were like,
thank you for catching this. This is a phishing email.
(07:35):
We're gonna block this under or whatever. So I redeem myself.
I saved the whole company. Okay, well, good, that's excellent. Yes,
I'm really proud of that's really really good. I'm reformed.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
But anyway, where was I going with this?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh? I don't know where I was going with this,
but I guess I thought it was BS and and
I've never been asked.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I can't remember.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
I mean, years and years and years ago, we had
to fill out performance reviews around here, and I remember
we weren't allowed to give ourselves perfect scores on any category.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
That was the rule.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
It was a performance review, but you weren't allowed to
say that you were the best at anything like it was.
It was inherently a flawed process. Like, essentially, you were
supposed to give yourself four out of five on everything,
really and then so that they can tell you that
you weren't a five, but you weren't allowed to give
yourself a five. So it was Yeah, it was a
really I don't know why we did that, but my
point is I wasn't doing it because I'm like, I've.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
A performance review, like what?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Who's what?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We're either good in the ratings and and uh and
people advertise and we keep our jobs or we're not
and we don't.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's our performance review, right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And so if I had responded to my boss writing
me yesterday double down, saying hey, can you do this?
And I'm always like the first to get this stuff
done because I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, but I thought it was a joke.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
A performance, right, a performance this last I thought it
was a joke, like I really did.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
If I had thick of it, If.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I had written him back and said I'm creating space
for what's next, I don't know how that would have
gone over. I think he would have scratched his head,
called me and been like, are you a Jason at
the fifty one fifty, Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You shaved your head?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Do you guys feel like I feel too, Like even
if it's something you think you're doing well, and like,
I'm not going to give myself a perfect score.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I gave myself all three as and four as. I
got you roasted for it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You did it. Yeah, you're not a three or four five.
I gave myself a five.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If I gave myself all five, you should have given
yourself all five.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Like a five was like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I was like adocious, Like I'm not gonna h right now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You don't want to see my arm right now.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
All the people in the world, Jason, you get fives
on everything.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I can fix it.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He dragged me yesterday for it. Well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
The other thing is that people looking at these I
don't They're not in the room, they don't. They don't know. Yeah,
and I'm not the boss, so I don't want anything
to do with it. But like, I mean, who gets
to evaluate that? I don't really know anyway, So back
to these are things that I wish I had said
to my boss yesterday when he asked me if I
filled out my performance of you, which I did very quickly.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Because I gave myself all fives. I'm on it. Well,
I just don't see why not.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean like, come to me, like come to me
and say like, okay, well you shouldn't given yourself a five.
And I don't remember what the categories were. It was
like performance, well we do, We've done very well and
as a team, like five.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Are you using those tools provided to do your job?
I think so when I do, yeah, I mean so five.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And when they don't, we still it's works somehow. So five,
thank you? Five. We got to be more like you, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yes, join me, Lulu.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm setting the bar high. Okay, I gotta kid.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Look, guys, I'm not good at a lot of things,
but I'm getting myself five round here. I just I
just am because and you can come please come to
me and tell me if I should have given myself
a four.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, because you know what I'm going to say to them,
I'm waiting on someone else. Apparently it's something else you do,
So I shift blame. I'm letting myself be God, That's
what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So someone checking in with us after this, is that
what you said? I don't know, yeah, they're supposed to.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And I suppose somebody could have said, hey, this is
coming down and it's real and if you could just
fill it out, yeah sure, but why it's on my
to do list? These are all things that you say
at work if you're lazy and don't actually want to
do it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's what I should have said. Where it is I
was just about to do that. He's another one. I was.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I was just getting to that thing that is four
weeks late. I was get and I've been swamped. I've
been swamped. But that's true if you say it. These
are all the things you say. I suppose some of
these things could be real, but the ones that really
get to me are like the I'm letting myself be.
I'm creating space for what I am using. I am
(11:48):
saving that, I am creating space for what's next.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can't wait to say that

Some to think of other ones, I swear, you know,
our executive team, like the highest level of executives whatever
they are, I don't know what they're called. That when
we have a little like fancy to ops come and

Speaker 1 (02:06):

Maybe maybe you can't presentation. You can't say it.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
We'll just throw a oh yeah, the deck call it.
Speaker 4 (02:57):
That CPO stand for I would asking someone yesterday and
we tried to google it is people officer.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
Oh yeah like it?
Speaker 2 (03:06):
Yeah, Oh okay, that's what that lady was at astronomer.
It's basically who went to CFO. She was the CPO,
the chief people officer.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Okay, because we were saying that and then someone else
was laughing like that sounds made up.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
No, it's a JHR. That's like a nicer way of
saying that person's gonna fire you.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
All right, I know, not corporate enough for that.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Well.
Speaker 2 (03:24):
I bring this up because there's a list this morning
of phrases that lazy people use to fool their bosses
into thinking that they're working hard. Oh boy, okay, and
I would love to tell you what they are except
my scream with blank again. Oh no, here it is, okay, No,
it's exciting. Really, you know today in radio Olympics, no
screens to the whole show by feel okay, starting with you. Okay,
(03:51):
So these are phrases that people use it work to
fool their bosses into thinking that they're working hard. But
a lot of these actually sound like well some of
the things that you just said, but some sound like
they could be true. I don't know, number one, I
don't know if these are in order. I've got a
lot on my plate right now. So you say that,
but that is in order to deflect without giving specifics.
(04:12):
But if I'm your boss, I probably know what's on
your plate and I get to choose. I would suppose
it's your boss whether I think it's a lot on
the plate or not a lot on the plate, right,
you fool me?
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Yeah, you would think, but not all.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Like your plate has been overflow, like you've been eating
off the same You've had so much on your plate,
jac You've been eating on this off the same plate
for like six months.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
It is plentiful.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
Yeah, I'll just be like, bro, I'm crashing out like

to the hospital right now, like that's where I'm at,
and then step away from shaving my head right, And
that's not an excuse to say that I'm lazy, Like
I'm actually going to go it fifty seven to fifty
or fifty one fifty. I'm actually like we're doing that.
I've said that too, just circling back on that.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
This is what you say.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
I guess if you're if you're lazy and you don't
really want to do anything, been meaning to get to
that suggest intent without execution.
Speaker 1 (05:05):
Been meaning to get.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
To that, right, but I want to know how many
of these you can use consistently before I've been meaning
to get to firing you, you know what I mean,
Like I've been meaning to I remember what I was
gonna do today, terminate you. I'm letting the ideas come
to me. You can say that I'm using these like
(05:26):
maybe I would survive in a corporate environment because I
just be in my office, you know, or my cubicle.
Just Hey, were you gonna.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Get to that today? Fred?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
You know, I'm just letting the ideas come to me.
You know what I'm saying. I'm just letting the ideas
come to me right now. So if you actually you're
in the way of my process.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
Hey, you're blocking the ideas.
Speaker 2 (05:42):
Like if I weren't being pestered by you, then maybe
the idea would have come to me by now. So
if you could see yourself out out, I'm creating space
for what's next. You can say this stuff, Oh my god, I'm.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
Gonna use this.
Speaker 2 (05:58):
Does that mean like my next job or like implies
forward thinking but often masks inaction and indecisiveness. You know, Hey, hey, prey,
we need you to do that. You know, I'm creating
space for what's next right now, So if you just
let me honestly putting on now just saying that, I
can't believe that anybody said this is from like a
survey of like actual bosses. I guess I'm letting myself
(06:20):
be Oh. I mean, if you responded to someone asking

some kind of internal like, uh, performance analysis of ourselves,
I thought it was spam. I honestly thought it was,
like because that's another thing that happens around here. I

And then they want to see if you fall to

hackers or whatever. Like that day that Jason opened the
facts that someone emailed from you.
Speaker 3 (07:04):
Yeah, someone fax faxed me an email or email me, Yeah, fax.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Me, But didn't you fax yourself an email? And you
still open it even though you don't know how to
use the fact. I don't even know where a fact is.
Speaker 3 (07:15):
Oh, yes, can I redeem myself real quick for that?
Because eight years later, yes, because there's finally like a
come around. You were letting yourself be. Yes, I was
letting the ideas come to me. But the other day
I got an email that I thought was a little phishy, right,
So I sent it to our CTO and they were like,
thank you for catching this. This is a phishing email.
(07:35):
We're gonna block this under or whatever. So I redeem myself.
I saved the whole company. Okay, well, good, that's excellent. Yes,
I'm really proud of that's really really good. I'm reformed.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
But anyway, where was I going with this?
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Oh? I don't know where I was going with this,

It was inherently a flawed process. Like, essentially, you were
supposed to give yourself four out of five on everything,
really and then so that they can tell you that
you weren't a five, but you weren't allowed to give
yourself a five. So it was Yeah, it was a
really I don't know why we did that, but my
point is I wasn't doing it because I'm like, I've.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
A performance review, like what?
Speaker 3 (08:23):
Yeah, like what?
Speaker 1 (08:24):
Who's what?
Speaker 2 (08:25):
We're either good in the ratings and and uh and
people advertise and we keep our jobs or we're not
and we don't.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
That's our performance review, right.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
And so if I had responded to my boss writing
me yesterday double down, saying hey, can you do this?
And I'm always like the first to get this stuff
done because I don't want to hear about it.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Yeah, but I thought it was a joke.
Speaker 2 (08:47):
A performance, right, a performance this last I thought it
was a joke, like I really did.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
If I had thick of it, If.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I had written him back and said I'm creating space
for what's next, I don't know how that would have
gone over. I think he would have scratched his head,
called me and been like, are you a Jason at
the fifty one fifty, Like, what's going on?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
You shaved your head?
Speaker 4 (09:10):
Do you guys feel like I feel too, Like even
if it's something you think you're doing well, and like,
I'm not going to give myself a perfect score.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
I gave myself all three as and four as. I
got you roasted for it.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
You did it. Yeah, you're not a three or four five.
I gave myself a five.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
If I gave myself all five, you should have given
yourself all five.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
Like a five was like I don't know.
Speaker 3 (09:30):
I was like adocious, Like I'm not gonna h right now.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
You don't want to see my arm right now.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
All the people in the world, Jason, you get fives
on everything.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I can fix it.
Speaker 1 (09:42):
He dragged me yesterday for it. Well.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
The other thing is that people looking at these I
don't They're not in the room, they don't. They don't know. Yeah,
and I'm not the boss, so I don't want anything
to do with it. But like, I mean, who gets
to evaluate that? I don't really know anyway, So back
to these are things that I wish I had said
to my boss yesterday when he asked me if I
filled out my performance of you, which I did very quickly.
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Because I gave myself all fives. I'm on it. Well,
I just don't see why not.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
I mean like, come to me, like come to me
and say like, okay, well you shouldn't given yourself a five.
And I don't remember what the categories were. It was
like performance, well we do, We've done very well and
as a team, like five.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Are you using those tools provided to do your job?
I think so when I do, yeah, I mean so five.
Speaker 1 (10:29):
And when they don't, we still it's works somehow. So five,
thank you? Five. We got to be more like you, guys.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Yes, join me, Lulu.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
I'm setting the bar high. Okay, I gotta kid.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
Look, guys, I'm not good at a lot of things,
but I'm getting myself five round here. I just I
just am because and you can come please come to
me and tell me if I should have given myself
a four.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
I'd love to hear it.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
No, because you know what I'm going to say to them,
I'm waiting on someone else. Apparently it's something else you do,
So I shift blame. I'm letting myself be God, That's
what I'm doing.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
So someone checking in with us after this, is that
what you said? I don't know, yeah, they're supposed to.
Speaker 2 (11:07):
And I suppose somebody could have said, hey, this is
coming down and it's real and if you could just
fill it out, yeah sure, but why it's on my
to do list? These are all things that you say
at work if you're lazy and don't actually want to
do it.
Speaker 1 (11:19):
That's what I should have said. Where it is I
was just about to do that. He's another one. I was.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
I was just getting to that thing that is four
weeks late. I was get and I've been swamped. I've
been swamped. But that's true if you say it. These
are all the things you say. I suppose some of
these things could be real, but the ones that really
get to me are like the I'm letting myself be.
I'm creating space for what I am using. I am
(11:48):
saving that, I am creating space for what's next.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
I can't wait to say that
