Someone else is fed up, too

I came across this great article on Business Insider:

The Ten Most Annoying Management Terms Of 2011

“Reaching out” is the number one most annoying management term of 2011. Finally, someone else stating a strong dislike of the “reaching out” craze.

1 – Reaching out – TMM first came across 2011′s winning term in July and since then it has spread like wildfire, which has us looking like Irish Riverdancers as we try to stamp it out as fast as we can. The origins and epidemiology of this disease has us suspecting it’s the product of some Class of 2011 Management School somewhere. It really is complete and utter rubbish. If you are about to call an investor for some documents you don’t “reach out to the client,” you phone or mail them. If you want to know why a trade hasn’t settled you don’t “Reach out to Bangalore” you “call back-office.” So let’s just kill that one right now before someone gets accused of molestation.
