HR Jargon

Nov 9

I’ve run across several jargon sites in the last few days. Fun how that goes in streaks. The Jargon Database has a nice selection of HR jargon. My favorite on the list is “Work In”:

Work In. A curious negotiating tactic that involves showing up to work, but not actually doing anything.

Work Ins are closely related to quit-and-stays.

More resources: MBA Jargon Watch, Unicorp’s Mission Statement, and Business Jargon Mugs for your whole team.
