Going to circle back to touch base about the synergy...UGH

[missdiane]

The jargon bullshit at work is getting tedious. As is the boss's obsession with putting every fucking thing through AI filters.

Just in two meetings, yesterday afternoon and this morning, some of the pointless hoo ha phrases spewed:
Ground-truthing
Logic model
Convergence research
Bandwidth
Close the loop
Metrics
Mission critical
Strategic vision and framing

I told Emily that I should do a roleplay for the channel just cram packed full of this stuff. At least then it would seem USEFUL to me to have to suffer through all the babble. Oh, btw we're at 1055 subscribers and 2471 watch hours. Need to keep cranking out decent videos to see if I can get to 4000 watch hours to get monetized.

What the heck is ground-truthing? Anything like soil testing?

When they start talking about mission and vision, that is the end of anything anyone really needs to know and is just the boss or consultant blowing smoke.

Evidently it's fact checking - SO SAY FACT CHECKING. FFS.

Yesterday they got all excited at this asinine thing they found. It's all so performative and annoying.

Meanwhile I bring up during yesterday's meeting whether we're FINALLY going to rewrite the "critical issues" that USDA requires us to define and it's getting put off for yet another year. After more than five years of putting it off.

What, in the ever-living FUCK, is GROUND-TRUTHING?

Just reading this made me want to stab out my eardrums.

[missdiane]

ground-truthing = fact checking. Because GOD FORBID we use terms that make sense.

This is what all of the recent meetings have become. This is not an exaggeration Jargon-filled wastes of time with the boss obsessing over AI.

Wow. I didn't think I could hate it more than I already did. And yet here we are.

Well, if you have put it off for five years, why not wait another five and maybe no one will remember asking? seems logical from a lazy standpoint.
