 Found these just too damned funny not to repost here. A friend of mine sent these to me via e-mail. Expand your office jargon vocabulary today!
Blamestorming: Sitting around in a group discussing why a deadline was missed or a project failed, and who is responsible.
Seagull Manager: A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything then leaves.
Assmosis: The process by which some people seem to absorb success and advancement butt-kissing up to the boss rather than working hard.
Salmon Day: The experiment of spending an entire day swimming upstream only to get screwed and die in the end.
