MBA Catch Phrase Bingo - A series of canned phrases, used by bosses to deflect questions and
sound smarter than everyone.
Done properly it’s like a magic trick that confuses the masses into thinking the boss answered the question when he didn’t.
Carl: Hey
Kyle, Did Lance explain what’s going on with the layoffs during the staff meeting?
Kyle: I asked him and he wouldn’t answer it directly. He decided to play MBA catch phrase bingo with us instead.
He said, “At the end of the day”, “right-size it” and
something about “squaring the circle.” No one knows what the fuck just happened in there.
