MBA Catch Phrase Bingo - A series of
canned phrases, used by
bosses to deflect questions and sound smarter than everyone. Done properly it’s like a
magic trick that confuses the masses into thinking the boss answered the question when he didn’t.
Carl: Hey Kyle, Did Lance explain what’s going on with the layoffs during the
staff meeting?
Kyle: I asked him and he wouldn’t answer it directly. He decided to play
MBA catch phrase bingo with us instead.
He said, “At the end of the day”, “right-size it” and something about “
squaring the circle.” No one knows what the fuck just happened in there.
