[quote="Easy-X"]

Anyhoo, I got this job ad via linkedin:

Quote:
Looking for a data leader to join the team and make a difference in the way we deliver insights to our clients, a passionate data storyteller that can see and harness the value of our data and turn it into actionable insights.


Rolling Eyes although I see one positive in the above .. 'harness' in place of 'leverage'. They missed a trick there..

So they want a personable character with some common sense.

I found myself using "agile" in an appropriate way the other day. Brick Wall


I might have also offered myself to be in the vanguard for any civil disobedience regarding our autonomy within the corporate machine ... Thinking

The one that annoys me is mixing of tenses, for e.g., "that needs fixed." No, it needs fixing, or it has been fixed.

This one might be a bit harsh but “I feel like…” instead of, “I think…” to me says I’m elevating my knee-jerk reaction and my bias above careful thought, but don’t you challenge me on it.

Also, said before but, “Can I get…?” instead of “have.” No, not unless you work here.

The yanks have one that they've been getting excited about, not sure if it'll make it over the pond but it makes me grind my teeth.
They think they've just come up with a new work regime, quiet quitting, known to the rest of the civilised world as work to rule. Rolling Eyes

I presume we have had 'decolonise' somewhere in this list?

The reason I'm asking is that this statement just annoyed the fcuk out of me...

Decolonising tourism

‘There were no locals at all’: Reckoning with race, history and access in Kenya’s tourism industry. And the new generation redefining travel and exploration.


It's TOURIST industry you thick cvunts. The idea is you encourage rich tourists so you can fleece them of their money while lauding a pile of bricks or a wild animal as something special. We do it with London. We do it with the Royal family.

It's nowt to do with colonisation BBC. It's purely to do with attacting the most money into the country. Jeez. Shocked

Don't go to Brissle (Bristol) whatever you do. They have an ideal (not idea) and ride down sliders (not slides.)

Plus they all sound like pirates.

A lot of words in here so far don't bother me, and there's even a few that I have used from time to time.

The one that really boils my proverbial right now though is frickin' Fur Babies

Do I need to really explain
