Solutioning

I give to you a corporate conversation in eleventy-one words...

‘Please revert back to me about the solutioning exercise.’

‘Huh?’

‘Revert to me about the solutioning exercise.’

‘What does that mean?’

‘Just what I said.’

‘So, you want me to transform back into you while I do an exercise around “solutioning”?’

‘You know what I mean.’

‘I don’t.’

‘Get back to me when you have some solutions to the problem.’

‘Why don’t you just say that?’

‘I did.’

‘No, you asked me to become you innately at some time in the past.’

‘You’re being pedantic. Words evolve.’

‘I understand word evolution. I’m tired of corporate speak. Say what you mean in plain English.’

‘It is what it is.’

‘No shit, Sherlock.’
