I swear to god if I hear the word "granular" at work today I'm going to lob a mandarin at the person who says it.
Just say "detailed". What's wrong with "detailed"?!?!
Ah corporate life. I've missed you lol
Edit: I'm adding the word "artifact" to the list.
I nominate ‘touch base’
How on earth did they get ‘granular’ to mean ‘detailed’?! I’m still annoyed at ‘low hanging fruit’, ‘going forward’, and ‘the (insert topic here) space/lens’. Bloody weasel words
I haven't heard space/lens yet. It won't be long I'm sure.
Every time someone says artifact my mind goes straight to Indiana Jones lol
As it should.
too much detail 'granular' is actually quite a good metaphor, just horribly overused.
Your artifacts are not granular enough. Lift your game
Can I say artifact if I talk about archaeology?
Also, may I add to the list journey, navigate and gifted.
Mine is people sulking. I'm so over it. Projects gotta be done. Leadership have said "deliver" so STFU and help or get out of the damn way.
Agreed. I can't fucking stand it. We're not children. If you're annoyed, say something.
Damn gibsy, you're starting to sound like a bit of an artifact!
Granular!
(I'd love a mandarin please)
🍊🍊🍊here’s some low hanging fruit!
start replying to peoples emails spelling it artefact and track how fast the flock adopts it
you made me look twice and check if I have been spelling it wrong
heheheheeee
