You certainly are yesterday's man, N.

'Bandwidth' is so common and acceptable and sensible that I find myself wondering how much of the past decade you have spent in a cave.

I would have thought you of all people would appreciate straight talking, blunt even if required.

Because a term may be commonplace in financial organisations in Canary Wharf does not render it acceptable. It is the verbal confirmation of a ****.

I expect you also touch base.

How is 'time' rude? Also, a boss doesn't actually have to justify delegating work to you, since that is their job.

It is a word that is far more loaded than "bandwidth" as it is used in a variety of contexts. "Bandwidth" strips the statement bare in a way that leaves absolutely no room for misinterpretation.

and 'reach out'

it is a sad world these days, sw . . .

Yeah it does, and I'd be shocked if it wasn't constantly used in the large majority of businesses these days. Possibly prompted by the prevalence of broadband in people's homes.

You need to get out more, mate.

Just because you love business bullshít and think it's "normal" doesn't actually make it ok.
