The worst I've seen so far are posters with mindless and vulgar motivation propaganda such as "Bullshit-free Zone" and "Get Shit Done" [1].
These seem to be popular with a customer of mine who went all-in on SCRUM last year (believe me, you haven't seen anything yet if you haven't worked in a German team throwing around everyday or pseudo English terms in an attempt to appear cool).

- posterboy 9y agoif I may chime in on the last bit, because I sensesed a sense hostility > pseudo english terms isn't that just the english language? A mix of norse, french, latin, alotta patoise and irish and ... just sudo english
- berbec 9y ago> sudo english This inspired me: I'm am now renaming /bin/sudo to /bin/pseudo
- tannhaeuser 9y agoIt probably is, but there are pseudo-English idioms in use that just hurt. For example, "public viewing" is used in German for featuring sports events on large screens in the public, "handy" is used for mobiles, etc. See https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/40586/why-do-germans-invent-english-words-for-themselves https://german.stackexchange.com/questions/40586/why-do-germ... for a discussion about this phenomenon.
- posterboy 9y agoHe, I think we just find it super cold like but not quite (ie cool) to copy from our thought leaders.
