Motivation! Motivation! Motivation! Motivation!
During this qotw I would like you all to make yourselves comfortable. Now, the objective of this session is for us to reach some positive conclusions vis a vis phrases that irritate. I would like all of you here to open your minds; this an exceptional opportunity for you to engage in a brainstorming session and push forward some freewheeling, open-ended concepts in a blue-sky environment.

We can really push the envelope on this one; this is a one off opportunity for us to homogenise our cenceptualising and come up with a definitive programme of phrases.

We must give this our full attention and assume nothing - to assume simply makes an ass out of u and me. Focus is crucial, team, so remember - you snooze, you lose.

Now, this is a freewheeling concept, but if we could keep a weather eye on progress, treat things in a holistic and proactive way, before touching base later in the week. I have this in my radar, and am determined to make this a resounding success.

Go get 'em, guys...

Nicely done!

You both made me laugh, die a little inside, and want to strangle you all at once =)

I am. actually, a sales manager!
Although anyone speaking like that in our company would get chucked through a window. We tend to have a lot of shouting, swearing and showing off as motivation, followed by going on the piss and engaging in sports.

Works for us.

Touches most of the bases,
but points deducted for lack of synergy and imagineering.

AND!
Fucking "PROACTIVE" --- it's a fucking facial cleanser, NOT A WORD, you twunts!!!!!!

Didn't we formerly call these things "redundancies," before redundancies became PEOPLE?

If it is ACTIVE, then it is moving, and one would assume, moving FORWARD. Adding "pro-" to it only makes it sound actively STOOPID, dammit. It's not delineating between collegiate and commercial sports, it doesn't make your bullshit language any more effective, and it pisses me off.

Whomever started this shit marketing meme, wherever they are (undoubtedly working for Halliburton, Trump or Simon Cowell), I hope that their HERPES is "PROACTIVE."

P.S. I'm not asking nicely anymore --- TAKE SIMON COWELL BACK!!!!!! That pompous twunt is more than enough justification for a declaration of war. And as much as I adore her, no, Susan Boyle is not enough of a saving grace to turn that rectum-haircut JERK into a "human being." Send him back to whatever demonic laboratory spawned him, melt the parts down and START OVER. What the British have done to "pop music" is unforgivable (yes, everything after Sabbath & Zeppelin, and your brilliant ambulance attendants who held Hendrix down while he was TRYING NOT TO CHOKE ON HIS OWN VOMIT), but THIS smarmy motherfucker, the KING OF MALE MENOPAUSE --- comparable only to the pestilence known as Rupert Murdoch, another reason to retard the Anglicization of America --- must go. Take it as you will, but tell me that I'm wrong about either of those foul exports. Talentless SCUM with money, and they've destroyed every last imaginable fiber of anything resembling "skill," "talent" or "integrity" that's ever been associated with the creative arts, as oxymoronic as that concept may seem.

And take Courtney Love with 'em when you go --- rub her and "Posh Spice" together and you can start a nice campfire. No, Courtney isn't your fault, I just want to be shed of that murdering-whore plague once and for all.

In an attempt to sound inspired...
managertalk like that just sounds tired.

Although I will give you points for not using the term 'deliverable'.
