New(?) workplace buzzword

Posted by Bookworm on October 30, 2002

Amidst "moving forward" and "adding value", a new term has crept into the workplace jargon (at least here in the midwestern US) - "socializing". This is used when special arrangement or consideration needs to be finagled, as in: "We'll have to push our dates out a week. I'll socialize that with management."

I think I'll buy a lottery ticket on the way home...
