Here is a click through for work place jargon that I had no idea. My GrD took exception when I said I'll circle back to you later. I had no idea. |

I disagree with this one, as its context dependent.
'At your earliest convenience'
Do this now!
If its a bad micromanager, it means do this now. Depending on whether its work or volunteer, it may mean 'get this done today', 'get this done this week', or I don't expect you to ever get this done, but at least I have my email trail.

As previously discussed'
I've used in countless emails as have former co-workers as a way to CYA and put in email a phone conversation that is not recorded or documented any other way.

Common workplace jargon hilariously decoded I decoded "hilariously" to mean not seriously. |
