In the endless glossary of corporate terms, “our best practice” is one of the most pod person-sounding. Designed as a means to tell someone that, up until this moment, they’ve probably been employing the worst practice, the term tends to come up frequently in conference rooms and emails.
If the term is being thrown at you by a fellow co-worker, he or she is probably a high-strung clacker trying desperately to climb the corporate ladder. If the term is being thrown at you by a managerial type, they have it in for you, hate your work ethic and basically want to make you quit. But you’re not going to, are you? Because you’re committed to the New York City dream: having an apartment with less than four people.
