Dress code for day 1?

Sainsburys Head Office in Holborn - not wearing a tie can get you marked down in your end of year review (permie, obviously) as "not living the values".

I think they probably behead contractors for the same crime.

That is precisely the kind of corporate cackspeak that I despise. Yuk. Anyone caught writing or speaking such verbiage should be sent, along with people who use the word 'synergy' in a business sense, or 'going forward', to the depths of hell to be anally probed by Be'elzebub's arrow headed tail for eternity. Only longer than that.

How do you feel about "synergistic paradigm shift"?

Rather nauseous. I'm trying to eat a sandwich, so please stop it.

Synergy is fine, if its being used to mean what it means. Living the values is ****speak, unless they mean maximizing profit by selling your customers nicely wrapped cheap tulip in which case you understand why they want the permies to wear suits and ties.

Indeed, Bucky Fuller, systems thinking and emergent behaviour, but I would hazard a guess that 99.99% of people who use the word regularly don't have a bleeding clue what any of that is about.

WTF do you work for, the Saudi police? What do they do, plant a litre of vodka in their desk draw and impale them on the front gate?
