I absolutely hate these meaningless titles. I just started work in the corporate world. After a month I literally want to kill myself.
We use the following terms:
To do items -> ACTION TASKS!
Manager -> Champion.... groan
Meetings -> "Social". As in, "in ten minutes, we're having a social in room 10D.
Cooworker -> Friend.
We have to use these terms, there are so many more, that combined with the fake forced "i love to work here" attitude day in day out is absolutely crushing me.
- gvb 13y agoDon't forget Leaders! In Manager -> Leader in the HR context and then the Leader -> Champion in the project management context.

- gohrt 13y agoLet's not foget this gem: Figuratively -> Literally Do people in your company use "Social" to mean a conversation about business topics? A "social" is people eating/drinking and chatting informally to get to know each other. "Champion" is not a "manager". A champion is someone who cares about a project and fights for it. Someone assigned to maange a project might not be a champion -> will neglect it and let it die.
