I like, "I'm sorry - am I misunderstanding something?" And then give your evidence they're lying.

Leaves the door open for you to be wrong (because you could be) but puts them on blast because they know you've seen through their bullshit.

this is a great tactic. Admitting that you don't know everything allows you to respectfully challenge a norm or assumption without looking like a know it all.

Hahaha - I don't intend this to be offensive, because I talk & think exactly the same way - but this is the most "tell me you work in corporate without telling me you work in corporate" sentence ever lmao

I swear it must seem like we make up the lingo as we go sometimes.

Hope we can circle back on this later to leverage our brainstorming synergies. I'll send out the minutes to stakeholders in a bit. 😛

Oh man, listen to Weird Al's song Mission Statement. I love that it exists.

RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on [email protected]
