That's not creating corporate culture it's wasting my time (which should be done here or other area of my choosing)!!! Spent better part of an hour trying to find the notifications section in yammer, instead had to create an auto delete outlook rule.

I don't know what any of this means and I feel lucky that I don't!

P.S. Falcon 3 is a moran.

Yammer is an internal twitter/facebook style gossip tool for companies that use office 365.

I actually didn't mind Slack. It was useful having something where you could see someone's status - on a call, away from desk, etc. But it was a distraction because like a text message most people expected an immediate response if they slack you. I spend a lot of time in Do not disturb mode.

What was more annoying is we were having c-level staff turn over almost yearly and each new rotation would want to change the whole company over to their preferred platform. And of course they wouldn't check around to see what compatibility issues it would cause with other systems. When I left in Dec our 5th CFO since 2016 was planning to move the whole company back to his favorite, Microsoft teams, which we tried 3 years ago and had all kinds of problems with.

We've been using "moran" for so long, I'd forgotten where it originally came from.

Ah I see so we use the language of idiots to make fun of idiots, making us sound like idiots as well. Perfect sense.

Sometimes I doubt your commitment to Sparkle Motion.

Those of us with google access have learned that the broader internetz community adopted ‘Moran’ years ago...and it looks like morans regularly ask on forums ‘Why are you spelling it with an A?’

**Danno** · 04-03-2021, 09:01 AM

Yeah, it's not a TGR-specific misspelling like hudge.

Reminds me of “Husky Latin Women”.

It annoys me when Americans use British slang. The specific example I see that drives me nuts is "chuffed."

Well, we watch the British Baking Show in my house, and my daughter and I have laughed at how often they use "chuffed". So I can see how some might start using it. I'm positively chuffed about it!

My tax refund from last year is still listed as "under review." The IRS provides very little contact info (I'm not surprised). Does anyone have any idea wtf I should do?

Agreed. That said, there are a few that have snuck into vernacular which are actually pretty good in that it is just efficient communication. Three I can think of are:

kit/kitted

sorted

proper fucked
