My manager in Phoenix told me to stop using so many buzzwords in meetings
She pulled me aside after a project review and said, 'Patricia, just tell me what you did and what you need. I don't need to hear about synergies or low-hanging fruit.' I started making my points in three clear sentences or less. Has anyone else had to unlearn a bad work habit like this?

My old boss in Austin had the exact same rule.

What was the rule? And did it actually work out for him?

Sounds like a rule that only works if you're the boss. I tried something similar once and my guys just started hiding the good coffee, the_elliot. You can guess how that ended.
