and they pay you how much?

I’m in the middle of a meeting with a VP from another division of the company, and a coworker and I have noted that he has said “synergy” or “synergistic” 4 times in 17 minutes!!!

is this what I need to do to increase my station in the working world?

Please give me a raise as I show off my skills organizing synergistic synergies!

    In our meetings, a friend me and a friend of mine play that “buzz word bingo”. We see how many times someone uses “utilize”, “team player”, “metrics”, etc.
