Corporate Speak Friday

Today's buzz-tastic word is: Onboard (on-bawrd)


"installed and functional within a vehicle: on-board computers for aircraft".


We have some new employees starting with us on Monday. But they aren't starting work - nope, they're onboarding. They don't have start dates, they have onboarding dates. And onboarding agendas.

Corporate Speak Friday

Buzz-tastic word of the week: Cascade (kas-keyd)

"anything that resembles a waterfall, esp. in seeming to flow or fall in abundance"



Apparently we no longer "pass information on" or "let people know" - oh no, loyal readers - we cascade.

In a sentence: "please cascade this {information} to managers and staff if appropriate"

I dare everybody to use Cascade in this sense (with a straight face) in the next week!
