Just been in the queue at the coffee place here, where there were 25 people being served by 1 bloke who refused to move any faster than your average glacier. This gave me ample opportunity to listen to be people talking rubbish to each other as they waited.
One particularly awful pair where discussing the various "chats" they were going to have with people. "Yeah, I need to have a chat with X, the campaign manager [insert your own made up sounding pointless job in here]". When did everyone start having chats at work? Those aren't chats. Chats are about the weather and the neighbours and the cat. The correct term is "I've got to have a pointless, boring and utterly meaningless conversation with an odious little turd who, as far as I can see, does nothing" but to make it sound jolly and animated they call it a chat.
Honestly, if all the chatters and the campaign managers were laid off, we could run this place at twice the efficiency with about 30 people, leaving everyone else free to work down the mines. Maybe then we could get another person in the cafe.
